Updating the home controller
If you take a look at our current home controller (controllers/home.js), you can see that the index function barely has any code in it whatsoever:
res.render('index');The first thing we want to do is build a basic View model using sample data so that we can see our View model at work. Replace that single res.render call with the following updated code:
const ViewModel = {
        images: [
            images: [{
                uniqueId: 1,

                Views: 0,
                likes: 0,
                timestamp: Date.now()
            }, {
                uniqueId: 2,
                title: 'Sample Image 2',
                description: '',
                filename: 'sample2.jpg',
                Views: 0,
                likes: 0,
                timestamp: Date.now()
            }, {
                uniqueId: 3,
                title: 'Sample...
