can.view.ejs  

can.view.ejs( [id,] template )

Register an EJS template string and create a renderer function.

var renderer = can.view.ejs("<h1><%= message %></h1>");
renderer({message: "Hello"}) //-> docFrag[ <h1>Hello</h1> ]

Parameters

  1. id {String}Optional

    An optional ID to register the template.

    can.view.ejs("greet","<h1><%= message %></h1>");
can.view("greet",{message: "Hello"}) //-> docFrag[<h1>Hello</h1>]

  2. template {String}

    An EJS template in string form.

Returns

{renderer(data, helpers)}

A renderer function that takes data and helpers.

can.view.ejs([id,] template) registers an EJS template string for a given id programatically. The following registers myViewEJS and renders it into a documentFragment.

 can.view.ejs('myViewEJS', '<h2><%= message %></h2>');

 var frag = can.view('myViewEJS', {
     message : 'Hello there!'
 });

 frag // -> <h2>Hello there!</h2>

To convert the template into a render function, just pass the template. Call the render function with the data you want to pass to the template and it returns the documentFragment.

 var renderer = can.view.ejs('<div><%= message %></div>');
 renderer({
     message : 'EJS'
 }); // -> <div>EJS</div>
