var empModel = require('../modules/employee');
var router = express.Router();
var employee =empModel.find({});

/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
  employee.exec(function(err,data){
if(err) throw err;
res.render('index', { title: 'Employee Records', records:data });
  });
  
});

var express = require('express');

var empModel = require('../modules/employee');

var router = express.Router();

var employee =empModel.find({});

/* GET home page. */

router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {

employee.exec(function(err,data){

if(err) throw err;

res.render('index', { title: 'Employee Records', records:data });

          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <%if (records.length >0){ %>
          <% records.forEach(function(row){ %>
          <tr>
            <td><%= row.name %></td>
            <td><%= row.email %></td>
            <td><%= row.etype %></td>
            <td><%= row.hourlyrate %></td>
            <td><%= row.totalHour %></td>
            <td><%= row.total %></td>
          </tr>
          <% })}else{ %>
            <tr>
                <td colspan="6">No Record Found</td>
                
              </tr>
