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

I wrote a helpers to return moment for using on ejs view and layouts.

./helpers/utils/get-moment.js

const moment = require('moment');

module.exports = {
    friendlyName: 'formatMoney',
    description: 'format money number.',
    inputs: {},
    sync: true,
    exits: {},
    fn: function (inputs, exits) {
        return exits.success(moment);
    }
};

Then using:

const moment = sails.helpers.utils.getMoment();
