How to use node modules (like MomentJS) in EJS views?

Question

To use MomentJS in views/custom.ejs, what is the correct way (if any)?

1. Server side

   routes/index etc we can easily use require(\'moment\');

Answer 1

also i think it is good idea if you want you can add a middle-ware where you can add anything you want to the theme layer including user,config and moment:

// config, user, moment to the theme layer
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
    // grab reference of render
    var _render = res.render;
    // override logic
    res.render = function (view, options, fn) {
        // extend config and continue with original render
        options = options || {};
        options.config = config;
        options.moment = moment;
        if (req.user && req.user.toJSON) {
            options.user = req.user.toJSON();
        }
        _render.call(this, view, options, fn);
    }
    next();
});
