app.engine('handlebars', handlebars({
layoutsDir: __dirname + '/views/layouts',
}));
app.use(express.static('public'))
app.get('/', (req, res) => {

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
//Loads the handlebars module
const handlebars = require('express-handlebars');

You can setup handlebar as

var hbs = handlebars.create();
app.engine("handlebars", hbs.engine);
app.set("view engine", "handlebars");
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/views"));


app.get('/', (req, res) => {
//Serves the body of the page aka "main.handlebars" to the container //aka "index.handlebars"
res.render('main', {layout : 'index'});
});

app.listen(port, () => console.log(`App listening to port ${port}`));
