ejs

I have codes in EJS below, <script> var row =<%-JSON.stringify(data)%> console.log(row); </script> <% for(var i=0; i<JSON.stringify(data).length; i++) {%> <tr> <td> <%= JSON.stringify(data)[i].id%> </td> </tr> <% } %> output of row is correct, an array of 3 objects, each with properties id, name etc.. I can manipulate the row to popuate the table in JS. However, I am wonderring whether there is a way to allow it be done in the above manner? When I run the code above, JSON.stringify(data).length is not 3, but rather the length of the whole string. Another questions is when I try to add <% alert

In my index.ejs I have this code: var current_user = <%= user %> In my node I have app.get("/", function(req, res){ res.locals.user = req.user res.render("index") }) However, on the page I obtain var current_user = [object Object] and if I write var current_user = <%= JSON.stringify(user) %> I obtain: var current_user = {"__v":0,"_id":"50bc01938f164ee80b000001","agents":... Is there a way to pass a JSON that will be JS readable ? piggyback Oh that was easy, don't use <%= , use <%- instead. For example: <%- JSON.stringify(user) %> The first one will render in HTML, the second one will render

and if yes, what is the syntax? My goal is to prepend an 's' to the word 'comment' when there is more than one. in an jQuery.ejs template in a JMVC app. The following breaks. I can't find any docs for conditionals... <%=commentsNumber%> comment<% if (commentsNumber > 1) { %> s <% } %> For others that stumble on this, you can also use ejs params/props in conditional statements: recipes.js File: app.get("/recipes", function(req, res) { res.render("recipes.ejs", { recipes: recipes }); }); recipes.ejs File: <%if (recipes.length > 0) { %> // Do something with more than 1 recipe <% } %> Conditionals
