Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 17,021 PointsMy understand of this deconstruction is that
const templateData = {id, text};
is the same as
const templateData = {
id: id,
text: text
}
So, when we do
templateData.link = 'answer'
`
is that like adding on to the above:
const templateData = {
id: id,
text: text
link: 'answer'
}
?

8,377 PointsFor anyone's future reference, I skipped string interpolation and just fed a url in with res.locals.url = req.baseUrl+req.path+"?side=answer"; Seemed to work at a cursory glance. I'm not sure if it makes perfect sense, but I think avoiding hardcoding a path in the view might make sense if you alter the path parameters for the middleware.
