Short description

EJS lets Express inject data into HTML with `<%= %>`. Useful for dashboards, blogs, and server-rendered pages.

Setup EJS

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));

app.get('/profile', (req, res) => {
  res.render('profile', { name: 'Imtiyaj' });
});

// views/profile.ejs
// <h1>Hello <%= name %></h1>
