Express: How to render from string?

[extensionsapp]

Hello.

How to render from string?

index.js

res.render('index', {"hello": "world"});

index.ejs

<%- hello %>

We need so:

var hello = '<%- hello %>';
res.render(hello, {"hello": "world"});

It's possible?

Depending on the case, typically you would just use the engine directly. For example:

var hello = '<%- hello %>';
res.send(ejs.render(hello, {"hello": "world"}));
