Hello Fellow-Node'rs :)
I'm building an ecommerce-type-ticketing website (like where users can buy
tickets for broadway shoes, sports, etc.) using all Nodejs+Express+Jade
combo. Nothing else - JS all the way...
So, here's my code structure...
+Tickets(root folder)
----> node_modules
----> public
-----------> css
-----------> font
-----------> img
-----------> js
----> server
-----------> config
-----------> lib
--------------------> dataaccess.js
--------------------> bizlogic.js
-----------> routes
--------------------> router.js
-----------> ssl
-----------> views
--------------------> index.jade
--------------------> ...jade (all other jade files)
-----> app.js
-----> package.json
So, here's the structure of my website.
The main home (index) has all the featured events, and other events with
ticket prices, # of tickets, etc. (all event-related information) rendered
on the main home page. and also in the header, a way for users to login via
facebook, twitter or email-address-way...
I know how to take care of the login etc. issue...
So, here's my main home page (/) route - in the router.js file:
app.get('/', function(req,res){
// check if the user's credentials are saved in a cookie //
if (req.cookies.user == undefined || req.cookies.pass == undefined){
res.render('index');
}
else {
res.render('index', {username: req.cookies.user});
}
});
However, how do I dynamically render data on the home/main/index page such
as different list of events.
I have bunch of methods defined in bizlogic and dataaccess such as
getEvents, listEvents and so on (that returns all the information about the
events).
However, how do I render (wire up) this data also on the main home page.
What do I need to do to my app.get('/') or app.get ('index') route? If I
specify a route like app.get(/events) - that would probably render on
<www.example.com/events> but I want events also to show up on index page /.
Is there another way that I should be structuring this or implementing my
ticketing website?
One way I am thinking I can do this is implement some logic in the app.get
route before I render index like so:
app.get('/', function(req,res){
// check if the user's credentials are saved in a cookie //
if (req.cookies.user == undefined || req.cookies.pass == undefined){
eventArray = getAllEvents(list, fn);
....callback logic...
if (!events){
res.render('index');
}
else {
res.render('index', {event 1 data, event 2 data, event 3
data...});
}
}
else {
res.render('index', {username: req.cookies.user});
}
});
But this looks like a bad way to code this - no? There must be a better way
to handle dynamic home pages with lot of content in node.
Any help appreciated...
Thanks,
JP
