5,370 PointsI did it different. Is mine any worse or better? Maybe just different?
In the video, "Adding Links" with Andrew Chalkey the way he decides to change the site to make the hint appear based on the question was different than mine. I know there are always different ways to implement the same thing but theres usually a good better best. I want to know if I shouldn't be doing what I did. In my code I just passed the variable side that contained req.query.side onto the pug page so my const templeData = {text, hint, side} so then I went into the card.pug file and made in if clause that said if side == 'question' the hint will be displayed. I hope that makes sense. Any tips and constructive criticism is welcomed

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 16,882 PointsThis is exactly how I solved this problem, and I do not see why we shouldn't do this. It seemed like the absolute simplest way to do this! We did not create any extra variables, we just took the data we already had and used an if statement. I think it will also come in handy later because we'll need to bring the id value in for links too. Anyone else who came up with this answer, you're doing okay in my book!

7,002 PointsI had the same solution. But I also don't know if it is better or worse or just another solution. In my opinion it seemed much easier than what has been shown in the video.
