SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,while compiling ejs - node.js

Question

I just started to learn Node JS. While rendering the ejs file, I got an Unexpected token error. Anyone help me out for this error. My code is below:
ERROR:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token { in C:\Users\Ghulam Abbas\Desktop\Node\Conditionals\views\blogpost.ejs while compiling ejs
If the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint:

Or, if you meant to create an async function, pass async: true as an option.

Thanks in advance.

I just update your code, seem you're forgot set view engine
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.send('Blog Homepage.');
});
app.get('/posts', function(req, res) {
res.render('blogpost.ejs', {posts : "posts"});
});
app.listen(3000, function() {
console.log("Server is started.");
});
Please make sure you run npm i ejs.
And you may need store all your view files in a folder for more clearly folder struct. In this code, please move your blogpost.ejs to views folder. Hope this helpfull

const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.get('/', (req, res)=>{
res.render('homepage');
});
app.get('blog', (req, res)=>{
let post = req.query.post;
res.render('blog', {post: post});
});
let port = 4444;
app.listen(port, ()=>{
console.log(`server has started on port: ${port}`);
});
