'My project display only my homepage without any buttons and other pages

while making this school project i finish the code and make everything right, at least that's what i thought.

I'll put here my app.js and bin section, so if anyone can help me display everything i would appreciate it.

I start it with npm on the localhost as you can see in the picture.

I really need help, i am a student and i know the website is not very awesome but that's what they asked us.

There is the index.hbs file

<section> 
    <h1>Welcome to StackPeakFlow.</h1>

    <h3>List of questions</h3>
    <ul>
        {{#each questionTable}}
        <li>{{this}}</li>
        {{/each}}
    </ul>
</section>

There is the index.js router file

const router = express.Router();


const messagesTable = [];



/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', (req, res, next) => {
  res.render('index', {
    questionTable: ['Can comments be used in JSON file?', 'How can I center text inside a div block?', 'Does Python have a ternary conditional operator?', 'How do i compare strings in Java?']
  });
});

/* GET question. */
router.get('/question', (req, res, next) => {
  res.render('indexQuestion', { messagesTable });
});

/* POST add question. */
router.post('/question/add', (req, res, next) => {
  console.log("POST ADD QUESTION");
  messagesTable.push({ message: req.body.message, author: req.body.author });
  res.redirect('/question');
});


module.exports = router;
var createError = require('http-errors');
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var logger = require('morgan');

// Use of sessions
var session = require('express-session')

var indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
var usersRouter = require('./routes/users');
var questionsRouter = require('./routes/questions');
var membersRouter = require('./routes/members');

var app = express();

// register partials views 
// important to do that before set engine 
// BEFORE app.set('view engine', 'hbs');
var hbs = require('hbs');
hbs.registerPartials(__dirname + '/views/partials');

//eq
hbs.registerHelper('eq', function (a, b) {
  if (a === b) {
    return true;
  }
  else {
    return false;
  }
});

// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'hbs');

app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.use(session({ secret: "Your secret key", resave: false, saveUninitialized: false }));

app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/users', usersRouter);
app.use('/questions', questionsRouter);
app.use('/members', membersRouter);

// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  next(createError(404));
});

// error handler
app.use(function (err, req, res, next) {
  // set locals, only providing error in development
  res.locals.message = err.message;
  res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};

  // render the error page
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.render('error');
});

module.exports = app;

Here is the bin part with the WWW file

Solution 1:[1]

https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/partials.html

To use the partials, you need to,

  1. Register them
  2. Call them

You are registering them properly ?

But looks like you might be forgetting to call them in your index.hbs?

header at the top,
{{> header}}
and footer at the bottom,
{{> footer}}
