Accessing passed EJS variable in Javascript file

Question

RESTful routes js file:

// index route - show all todos
router.get(\"/\", middleware.isLoggedIn,function(req,res) {
  Todo.find({ \"author.id\" : req.user._i         


        

Answer 1

http://ejs.co/ says

2. <% 'Scriptlet' tag, for control-flow, no output
3. <%= Outputs the value into the template (HTML escaped)
4. <%- Outputs the unescaped value into the template
5. <%# Comment tag, no execution, no output

Can you try using <%- in ejs to read variable value?
