Displaying welcome "user" on landing page after login

[jaydat...@gmail.com]

Hi Guys,

Here I am using polymer with my project, and I have a login page and a landing page. so, if user is able to login sucessfully than he/she is thrown to the landing page, 

Now, here on landing page I want to display some thing like: welcome 'username', e.g. welcome Jaydatt or welcome Mark. So, this username I am putting into session so that I can use it through out my application.

I am using Node.js express with polymer.

So, my question here that how can I do that. I know about this <temlate> tag with polymer where using {{userame}} I can bind the data. But what if I want to take this username for session and display on html page.

If through any rendering engine than which?

In brief: my question is I want to display welcome username  on the landing page.... so how can I do that using polymer and Node.js approach....?

Can your server output set that variable either as an attribute on your element

or in js. For example, this GAE app fills js properties, server-side:

Another option would be to add it as a parameter to the first route dispatched.

As long as there is not sensitive information your url is sometimes a decent place to hold state. 

Just make sure the data is not sensitive and dont abuse or you ll go from a semantic bookmarkable url to a bad dark place.

Hope it helps!
