I am passing the full filename as advised on different questions yet I'm still receiving this error:
`include` requires the 'filename' option.
Here is my app.coffee
db = require('./db')
http = require('http')
fs = require('fs')
ejs = require('ejs')
# bs = require('bootstrap')
db.albums.find({}, {},
(err, data) ->
if err?
console.log("Error: failure to retrieve albums.")
return
else
initiate_server(data)
return
).sort({'play_counts': -1}).limit(20)
initiate_server = (albums) ->
http.createServer(
(req, res) ->
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'})
# res.end(String(data))
fs.readFile('views/index.ejs', 'utf-8',
(err, data) ->
if err?
res.end('error occured')
else
dir_path = __dirname + '/views'
renderedHtml = ejs.render(data,
{
albums: albums,
headerText: 'TempText',
head: '/partials/head.ejs',
header: dir_path + '/partials/header.ejs',
footer: dir_path + '/partials/footer.ejs'
}
)
res.end(renderedHtml)
# res.end(data)
)
return
).listen(8080)
console.log ('Server listening')
return
and here is my index.ejs:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<% include(head) %>
</head>
<body class="container">
<header>
</header>
<main>
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th> Rank </th>
<th> Album </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<% albums.forEach(function(album, count){ %>
<tr>
<td><%= count %></td>
<td><%= album.album_name %></td>
</tr>
<% }) %>
</tbody>
</table>
</main>
<footer>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
I've tried just passing the relative path too and I'm still getting this error, any suggestions? Thank you.
