Install glob npm install glob

If you have a views directory that looks something like:

views
├── 404.ejs
├── home.ejs
├── includes
│   ├── header.ejs
│   └── footer.ejs
├── post
│   ├── create.ejs
│   └── edit.ejs
└── profile.ejs

You can use this glob function to return an array of subdirectories in the views directory (add the path.substring to remove the trailing /)

let viewPaths = glob.sync('views/**/').map(path => {
    return path.substring(0, path.length - 1)
})


console.log(viewPaths)
>> ['views', 'views/post', 'views/includes']

So now you can set

app.set('views', viewPaths)

and now you can use

res.render('404')
res.render('home')
res.render('post/edit')
res.render('post/create')
