Embedded JavaScript templates.

$ npm install ejs

• Complies with the Express view system
• Static caching of intermediate JavaScript
• Unbuffered code for conditionals etc <% code %>
• Escapes html by default with <%= code %>
• Unescaped buffering with <%- code %>
• Supports tag customization

<% if (user) { %>
  <h2><%= user.name %></h2>
<% } %>

ejs.compile(str, options);
// => Function

ejs.render(str, options);
// => str

• locals Local variables object
• cache Compiled functions are cached, requires filename
• filename Used by cache to key caches
• context|scope Function execution context
• debug Output generated function body
• open Open tag, defaulting to "<%"
• close Closing tag, defaulting to "%>"

Custom tags can also be applied globally:

var ejs = require('ejs');
ejs.open = '{{';
ejs.close = '}}';

Which would make the following a valid template:

<h1>{{= title }}</h1>
