Answer 1

Here is the way you would do that with ejs:

index.ejs

<p><a href="<%= link %>" class="btn btn-primary" role="button">Download</a></p>

app.js

res.render('index.ejs', { link: "<your link here>" });

Hope this helps!

Instead we have to use double quote in place of single quote {link: " you link"} – Testify

This is how I used it in my app, and it's working fine for me. – Colville

Here is a way it worked for me.

General example:

<a href="somepath/<%= someVariable %>">Read More</a>

Example from my project:

<a href="/post/<%= post.titleTxt %>">
