Text not displaying...

I've copied and pasted Andrew's code (which matched mine but I copied and pasted to make sure) and the 'text' of the question is not displaying. I changed the variable in the card.pug file from 'prompt' to 'text' to match the code in the cards.js file but the only thing that display is the hint. Here's the code from the cards.js file:

const express = require('express'); const router = express.Router(); const { data } = require('../data/flashcardData.json'); const { cards } = data;

router.get('/:id', (req, res) => { const { side } = req.query; const { id } = req.params; const text = cards[id][side]; const { hint } = cards[id]; const templateData = { text, hint };

res.render('card', templateData);

})

module.exports = router;

And the code from the card.pug:

extends layout.pug

block content section#content h2= prompt if hint p i Hint: #{hint}

Nevermind! I wasn't using the query string in the url... it's always something simple. In woodworking we say "measure twice cut once"...same idea applies here
