Other solution

This is the solution i thought of How to make the "sideToShowDispaly" variable:

router.get('/:id', (req, res) => {
  const {side} = req.query;
  const {id} = req.params;
  const text = cards[id][side];
  const {hint} = cards[id];
  const cardToggle = req.query.side.toUpperCase();
  //const neww = Object.keys(cards[id])[2];

  const templateData = {text, id};

  if (side==='question') {
    templateData.sideToShow = 'answer';
    templateData.hint = hint;
  } else if (side === 'answer') {
    templateData.sideToShow = 'question';
  }

  templateData.sideToShowDispaly = templateData.sideToShow.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + templateData.sideToShow.slice(1);

  res.render('card', templateData);
});
