Hi i am trying to add condition for the render value in ejs file. i want to do something if value is equal to blah blah. I tried as shown below.
<% if (user) { %>
<div class="user_info">
<div>
<p>User Name<%= user.username %></p>
<p>User bio<%= user.user_bio %></p>
//here i want to put if else statement
//like this
<% if (user.user_age = null){ %>
<p>Your age is not defined. </p>
<% } %>
<% else if (user.user_age = 10){ %>
<p>You are a <%= user.user_age %> old tween!! </p>
<% } %>
<% else { %>
<p>You are a <%= user.user_age %> old Adult!! </p>
<% } %>
</div>
</div>
<% } else { %>
<p>No User!</p>
<% } %>
Clearly this if else statement i tried is not working.
How can i do this?
I have worked on this type of project something like that of whatsapp web,
its going to be a little hard because there are not many good tutorials out there, but I can give you some tips or steps you need to follow, to give the code would be very lengthy and its propriety code that I've worked on so I cant share that.
First of all to connect to server using a mobile or qr scanner you have to have a private or seperate socket to connect to the server. For that you can have to use web sockets which is a big task but you can use a simple socket library socket.io its fairly easy.
You will have to create a unique socket and key which you need to pass through the r itself(you have to render the qr code image through node js with the key as value) for that you can use 'qrcode' npm package.
For now your task here is done.
The difficult part starts here. You have to make an android/ios app to use that data which will use it in its own way, for ex in whatsapp when you can qr code from app it logs you in to your account and load contacts, messages, etc on the screen.
Im not an android or app developer for now, that part has to solved by you.

I am trying to update with socket.io a data which is coming for some partials.
I have a partial called info_card.ejs in partials package and it has two params: title and info. I have tried rendering the following code:
<% info_cards.forEach(function(card) { %>
<%- include("../partials/info_card", card) %>
<% }); %>
The first render is made by the server, and when I am trying to render in the client side (inside a js script) as following:
const update_info_cards =
[
{title: "title1", info: "info1"},
{title: "title1", info: "info2"}
]
var html = ejs.render(`<% info_cards.forEach(function(card) { %>
<%- include("../partials/info_card", card) %>
<% }); %>`, {info_card: update_info_cards })
I get this error:
1| <% info_cards.forEach(function(card) { %>
>> 2| <%- include("../partials/info_card", card) %>
3| <% }); %>
Could not find the include file "../partials/info_card"
Don't know how to fix it, I have tried to change the path for such a long time, but still get this error. I have also tried to look up for some answers on the internet - couldn't find any.
I saw that I can't do include on client side, so what's the alternative, because I really can't see me coping all the html code of the card multiple times?
Thanks!
I am following The Net Nijna's tutorial on youtube.
I reached tutorial number 27, working with partials in ejs. Everything works until I add the <% include partials/nav.js %>, once I add this code I recieve:
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier in (file location) testapp\views\profile.ejs while compiling ejs
If the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint:
https://github.com/RyanZim/EJS-Lint
Or, if you meant to create an async function, pass async: true as an option.
at new Function ()..... blah blah blah...
If I remove it, my ejs all works fine.
<body>
<% include partials/nav.ejs %>
<h1>Welcome to the profile of <%= person %> !</h1>
<p><strong> Age: <%= data.age %></strong></p>
<p><strong> Job: <%= data.job %></strong></p>
<p><strong> Pet: <%= data.pet %></strong></p>
<h2>Hobbies</h2>
<ul>
<% data.hobbies.forEach(function(item){ %>
<li><%= item %></li>
<%});%>
</ul>
</body>
can you help a student out? Thanks a ton!
Missing hyphen and need to invoke the include function.
<%- include('partials/nav') %>
I was stuck at the same problem and used -include('#filename');
it worked
Use: <%- include('folder/file') %>
agreeing with #Joseph Varilla
Not necessary to include engine extension as this should have been done in app.js or index.js file
I've created a dashboard page where a user can save different components of the site to one page for quick viewing. I'm able to dynamically load one component as follows:
index.js
res.render('dashboard',{comp: 'component1'});
dashboard.ejs
<%- include(comp) %>
but I would like to do something like this:
index.js
res.render('dashboard',{comp: ['component1', 'component3']});
And have the ejs page loop through the include(), this way i can show 0 to n components on the dashboard page.
I've tried wrapping the include in a for loop like so:
<%- for(c in comp){include(c)} %>
but ejs did not like this.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
Try this
<% for(var i=0; i < comp.length; ++i) { %>
<%- include(comp[i]) %>
<% } %>
in your code, c is the index not value, comp[c] is your component.
<% for(c in comp){ %>
<%- include(comp[c]) %>
<% } %>
This might sound really easy. There is a very similar
answer but somehow my code is behaving abruptly and driving me crazy. I have spent last 4-5 hours on this. Any help would be great.
I am building a Socket.IO chat app using Node + Express + Passport. I want to compare the userId of the current user with that of other users connected. I want to show him all users except himself to chat with in Socket.IO.
Read comments on code for clarity :
users.js
app.get('/users', function (req, res) {
var connectedUsers = require('../app').chatUsers; // => This is an array of all logged in user and I am getting this all correctly.
if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
res.render('users', {
currentUser: req.user,
users: connectedUsers,
title: 'OnLineUsers'
});
}
});
users.ejs
<h3>CurrentUser : <%- currentUser.id %></h3> // => This Prints like **abcdefg**
<% for(var i = 0;i < users.length ; i++){ %>
<h3>UserID: <%- users[i].id %></h3> // => This also prints the same **abcdefg** if only one user is connected.
<% if( currentUser.id !== users[i].id){ %> // => But this Conditional Operator does not works and show the current user himself.
<ul>
<li>
<h3> <%= users[i].name %></h3>
<a href="/socket" id="chatRoomUrl">
<button type="submit" class="btn-success">Chat</button>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
<% } %>
<% } %>
Thanks in advance. If there is any silly mistake on my part, please excuse me for wasting your time.
Your code is fine. Maybe there is space in two property. Try :
currentUser.id.trim() !== users[i].id.trim()
Change your following line, notice the change:
<h3> <%= users[i].name %></h3>
to this:
<h3> <%- users[i].name %></h3>
I'm trying to figure out how to search multiple models with Ransack. The goal is to have the search form in my shared header. I'm using a combination of their documentation, an old rails-cast, SO questions, and some code a friend shared with me. Right now I think it works, although I'm not sure because I can't get the results to show on my index page.
First, I created a search controller:
class SearchController < ApplicationController
def index
q = params[:q]
#items = Item.search(name_cont: q).result
#booths = Booth.search(name_cont: q).result
#users = User.search(name_cont: q).result
end
end
Next, I put this code in the header partial (views/layouts/_header.html.erb):
<%= form_tag search_path, method: :get do %>
<%= text_field_tag :q, nil %>
<% end %>
I added a route:
get "search" => "search#index"
My index.html.erb for the Search controller is empty and I suspect that is the problem, but I'm not sure what to place there. When I try something like:
<%= #items %>
<%= #users %>
<%= #booths %>
This is the output I get when I execute a search:
#<Item::ActiveRecord_Relation:0x007fee61a1ba10> #<User::ActiveRecord_Relation:0x007fee61a32d28> #<Booth::ActiveRecord_Relation:0x007fee61a20790>
Can someone please guide me on what the solution might be? I'm not sure if it's an index view problem, routing problem, or something else. On all of the tutorials the search field and results are only for one model so I'm a little confused on how to pull this off across multiple models.
Thanks!
The output you are getting is correct. Each of those variables contains an ActiveRecord_Relation object which can be treated like an array. Normally you'd do something like:
<% #items.each do |item| %>
<%= item.name %> # or whatever
<% end %>
<% #users.each do |user| %>
# and so on
Alternatively, you could combine your results #results = #items + #booths + #users and then:
<% #results.each do |result| %>
# display the result
<% end %>
