What This Adds In Cloud Code

• Server-side string template rendering with JS expressions.
• Useful for dynamic email/text generation.
• Works with built-in ejs/filters and ejs/utils helpers.

Quick Start

const ejs = require('ejs');
const output = ejs.render('Hello <%= name %>!', { name: 'Alice' });

API

Common exported functions include render, compile, parse, renderFile, and cache helpers.

Practical Example

const ejs = require('ejs');
const Mail = require('mail');

const html = ejs.render('<h1>Order <%= no %></h1><p>Total: <%= total %></p>', {
  no: request.params.order_no,
  total: request.params.total
});

Mail.send({ to: request.params.email, subject: 'Order confirmation', html, text: `Order ${request.params.order_no}` });

Failure Modes & Gotchas

• Template syntax errors throw render errors.
• Keep templates small; large templates are harder to debug in Cloud Code.
