How can I pass variable to ejs.compile

Question

My bottom_index.ejs looks like that:

The bottom section

In my code I declare ejs:

ejs = require(\'ejs\')         


        

Answer 1

Parameters are passed to EJS template as a JS plain object. For your example it sholud be:

botom_index_ejs({ bottom_text : 'The bottom section' });

Update:

test.js

var fs = require('fs');
var ejs = require('ejs');
var compiled = ejs.compile(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/test.ejs', 'utf8'));
var html = compiled({ title : 'EJS', text : 'Hello, World!' });
console.log(html);

test.ejs

    
        
    
    
        
<%= text %>
