create-new-middleware challenges， about pug set code，can more simple

Affected page

https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/quality-assurance/advanced-node-and-express/create-new-middleware

Your code

app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.set('views', './views/pug')

it set pug as view engine, and set Express look for your templates in ‘./views/pug’

so the code

app
 .route('/profile')
 .get(ensureAuthenticated, (req,res) => {
    res.render(process.cwd() + '/views/pug/profile');
 });

can write into

app
 .route('/profile')
 .get(ensureAuthenticated, (req,res) => {
    res.render('profile');
 });

While in practice the code that the OP shared is better, this challenge’s scope (and for that matter any challenge on freeCodeCamp) is not to teach best practice while teaching a concept.

The idea is to limit the scope of the lesson to get the concept across without too many abstractions.

IMHO, the code in the current lesson eliminates the need for teaching setting options which are covered elsewhere. I don’t think we need to update the challenge.

I just met with @luojiyin1987 during the Chinese contributors meeting. He meant the code in the challenge could be improved. Could you check the challenge and confirm if it’s necessary? Thanks! @raisedadead
