is there a way to add CSS/JS later using EJS with nodejs/express

Question

i\'m using the EJS template engine with nodejs/express and i\'m wondering if it\'s possible to add another css or js file in e.g the index.ejs (not the layout.ejs)

Answer 1

Thanks for illustrating this option pkyeck!

In express 4.x app.locals is an object. Here's pkyeck's answer rewritten to work in express 4.x:

app.locals.scripts = [];
app.locals.addScripts=function (all) {
    app.locals.scripts = [];
    if (all != undefined) {
        return all.map(function(script) {
            return "";
        }).join('\n ');
    }
    else {
        return '';
    }
};
app.locals.getScripts = function(req, res) {
    return scripts;
};
