Can a js script get a variable written in a EJS context/page within the same file

Question

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:

<         


        

Answer 1

Solution with a string

<% var test =myString; %> // variable created by ejs
          

Don't forget the quotes around "<%= test %>"
