No answer link on the "questions" page

Not sure what's happening, but the answer link isn't appearing in the questions route of my app. The "question" link however, is appearing just as expected on the answer route! Please help if you can see what I don't.

Here is my code: 

 const { side } = req.query;
  const { id } = req.params;
  const text = cards[id][side];
  const { hint } = cards[id];

  const templateData = { id, text };

  if( side === "question" ) {
    templateData.hint = hint;
    templateData.sideToShow = 'answer';
    templateData.sidetoShowDisplay = "Answer";
  } else if (side === "answer") {
    templateData.sideToShow = "question";
    templateData.sideToShowDisplay = "Question";
  }

  res.render("cards", templateData);

Pug template:

a(href=`${id}?side=${sideToShow}`)= sideToShowDisplay

Figured it out myself. Tiny bug in the form of a typo. Lower case "t" should be upper case "T" in the property "sideToShowDisplay".

    templateData.sidetoShowDisplay = "Answer";
