res.render不会加载新页面

Question

I have a simple task.

I have a header which loads few a links.

<a class="nav-link" href="menu">Menu 1</a>

I am trying to load the url /menu from the link.

My app.js file

app.use('/', index);
app.use('/menu', index);

My index.js file

/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
  res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
});


/* GET new page. */
router.get('/menu', function (req, res, next) {
  res.render('users', { title: 'New Page' });
});

The problem is it still loads the or rather refreshes the same page. I am unable to get the content from /menu . It still stays on the index page.

Just asking, any issues with the app.engine settings?

app.engine('hbs', hbs({ extname: 'hbs', defaultLayout: 'index', layoutsDir: __dirname + '/views/' }));
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'hbs');

Sorry I can not write a comment so I try to write an answer. Make sure that the

./views/users.hbs

has a file. In the settings of the HBS, the default index is set:

defaultLayout: 'index'

And try remove

app.use('/menu', index);

is superfluous here.
