const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.get("/", function(req,res){
var today = new Date();
var day = today.toLocaleString('en-us', {weekday: 'long'});;
console.log(day);
res.render("list", {dayName: day});
