In EJS template engine, how do I "include" a footer?
I know this question has already been marked as answered, but I believe what you were looking for is the 'partial' syntax. In EJS, you can include the content from one view template in another like so:
<html> <head></head> <body> Blah blah blah <%- partial('footer') %> </body></html>
EJS makes it very simple to use includes. Here is how it is described in the EJS README:
Includes are relative to the template with the include statement, for example if you have "./views/users.ejs" and "./views/user/show.ejs" you would use <% include user/show %>. The included file(s) are literally included into the template, no IO is performed after compilation, thus local variables are available to these included templates.
<ul> <% users.forEach(function(user){ %> <% include user/show %> <% }) %></ul>So, in your case, if the footer resides in the same directory as the file you want to include it in, you would simply add <% include footer %> to your file.
