EJS - pass variable when include

Question

I\'m using ejs in backend with nodejs. I\'d like to pass variable when include. When include the header, pass the page title.

index.ejs:

<% include he         


        

Answer 1

you can pass my_tytle directly to the index.ejs and if there is a partial view for header, my_tytle should be accessible to the header.

for example: index.ejs:

<% include header %>
 . . . 
<% include footer%>

header.ejs:

now from node server if you pass the value for my_tytle to index.ejs, like this:

res.render('template_file.js', {
        my_tytle : "Value for your title"
    });

then your partial view (i.e header in your case) would be also able to access that variable.
