Answer 1

Use ejs.renderFile(filename, data) function with async-await.

To render HTML files.

const renderHtmlFile = async () => {
    try {
        //Parameters inside the HTML file
        let params = {firstName : 'John', lastName: 'Doe'};
        let html = await ejs.renderFile(__dirname + '/template.html', params);
        console.log(html);
    } catch (error) {
        console.log("Error occured: ", error);
    }
}

To render EJS files.

const renderEjsFile = async () => {
    try {
        //Parameters inside the HTML file
        let params = {firstName : 'John', lastName: 'Doe'};
        let ejs = await ejs.renderFile(__dirname + '/template.ejs', params);
        console.log(ejs);
    } catch (error) {
        console.log("Error occured: ", error);
    }
}
