I would like to know if it’s possible to get an Element by ID using express.
If it’s not possible, I’m using express to transmit data from my website to my node.js server. Is it possbile to get a text input from the user, and then apply that in a node.js variable?
If that’s not possible, I’ll commit to websockets 🙁
>Solution :
Well, if you want real-time update, then websocket is your only option (instead of sending HTTP request each time user inputs, which will flood your server).
However, if you don’t really need real-time interaction, you can use old-way form POST (or any) method and send HTTP request to your express backend at the end with the data from the form.
Hope this helps!
