how to use .ejsrc.js or .ejs.config.js ?

Hello,
I'm trying to build an app with your transformer.

It works great if I put my local vars in .ejsrc (like in the readme)

But I'd like to set some local vars in javascript, because some of their values need to be computed, not hardcoded.

So I created an .ejsrc.js and tried to define a global object "locals" inside, but it doesn't work.

No luck with ejs.config.js either.

Ex: .ejsrc contains:

foo = 1;

locals = {
  bar: 2
}

if my index.ejs contains:

• <%= foo %> => 1 (OK)
• <%= locals.bar %> => undefined (should be 2)
• <%= locals %> => empty object (should be {bar: 2} )

What's the good way to set local vars in JS please?

Thanks a lot

Docs?

Is there any documentation on how to use this with parcel? I installed it but my ejs files are not compiling blank.

ParcelJS doesn't parse .ejs files?

Hello,

I just installed as requested the plugin by executing the command:

npm i -S parcel-plugin-ejs

Unfortunately my index.html file is empty.
Here's my script to start ParcelJS:

cross-env NODE_ENV=development parcel ./src/index.ejs

It would be more useful to import the compiled template than the generated text

ejs templates are meant to be used with different render data, and when importing them, there is no way to pass render data.
I think it will be more useful to import the compiled template instead.

How it works currently

<button><% buttonText %></button>

import rendered from './template.ejs';

results in error: buttonText is not defined

The Suggestion

With the same ejs file,

import template from './template.ejs';
const rendered = template({
    buttonText: 'Click Me'
});

This change would be a matter of changing this line from return compiled(); to return compiled;.
