1. First, you need to install below npm packages into your nodejs application:

So you need to run below commands into your terminal:

var router = express.Router();

router.get('/test', function(req, res){
    res.render('index.html', {
            title: 'Express Index File'
        });
});
//export this router to use in our testcode.js
module.exports = router;

4. Create index.html file, into view folder in node js application:

<html>
<head>
<title><%= title %></title>

<h1>Index Page</h1>
