I'm currently working on an Express GET function where I am sending data to an EJS file using the res.render() function. My question is, how can I access this data in plain JavaScript within the same EJS file?
Here is my GET Function:
router.get('/:id', (req, res) => {
let pollId = req.params.id;
Poll.findById(pollId, (err, poll) => {
if(err) throw err;
Vote.find(pollId, (err, votes) => {
res.render('vote', {user: req.user, poll: poll, voteFail: req.flash('voteFail'),votes: votes });
});
});
});And here's an example of how I'd like to use the data:
<script type="text/javascript>
console.log(<%votes%>);
</script>
