On the EJS github page, there is one and only one simple example: https://github.com/visionmedia/ejs Example <% if (user) { %> <h2><%= user.name %></h2> <% } %> This seems to be checking for the existence of a variable named user, and if it exists, do some stuff. Duh, right? My question is, why in the world would Node throw a ReferenceError if the user variable doesn't exist? This renders the above example useless. What's the appropriate way to check for the existence of a variable? Am I expected to use a try/catch mechanism and grab that ReferenceError? ReferenceError: user is not defined at

I'm using Express and EJS to serve pages. I'm using Bootstrap for the UI, specifically the navbar. I'd like to add an 'active' class to the current page's <li> item, to show the current page. However, I cannot find how to get the URL from within the EJS code rendering the page. I found 2 workarounds: I used included passing the page name as a parameter in the route's res.render('myview', {pageName: 'myView'}); - which is not scalable and may cause issues. The other way, was to use jQuery on the client side to add the 'active' class to the item upon page ready - but that means including this

As a real beginner in EJS, I have two charts in my html page, so I want to use my partial twice: <% include partials/spider-chart.ejs %> But I need to pass some parameters inside the ejs to differentiate between graphs. What is the best way? @Naeem Shaikh solution works. Though include also gives you more intuitive way of including a partial template and also passing context variables to that as found in documention section of ejs . <ul> <% users.forEach(function(user){ %> <%- include('user/show', {user: user}); %> <% }); %> </ul> Naeem Shaikh I think you want to render two different charts

As I wrote in the title, I'd like to get a value from a variable written into a ejs page/file, from a javascript file within the same page EJS: <% var test = 101; %> JS: <script> var getTest = test; </script> Or what if I'd like to use a function (with parameter) written into a EJS file and use this function in a JS context where the parameter is given to the function from JS context EJS: <% function fn(par){ ... } %> JS: <script> var test = 101; <%>fn(test)<%> </script> Edit : this Half considers you are using EJS on server side 1) You can pass an ejs variable value to a Javascript variable <

This question already has an answer here: How to make a redirect (301) in Node.js / Express? 3 answers I have a login and a signup page.
