ejs

If I receive from my client a string with "Hello\nHow are you?"... Then: 1) If I do the job to replace \n by then the string that appears on the browser is: HelloHow are you? 2) If I don't replace anything, then (of course :) the string in the browser is: Hello\nHow are you? So my question is: How you guys handle the line breaking without going to go for too complex code in .ejs placeholders? Thanks, Sebastien PS: is not the right html tag for break line, I write it like this to keep it displayed in this editor

From the example in the README This code, in all situations, always results in an error if you don't pass the data to the file. I am trying to use it as, let's say, a report about whether your password was valid - if it wasn't I would render the file with But if the user were going to the login page and it hadn't yet been posted, I would just use: I could fix this by explicitly sending a msg = null to all routes, but I think that is silly. Any advice on how to properly handle this? My guess is that what I am doing is somehow unconventional in node/ejs. Thanks a bunch, Keith

Hi, I would propose few optimizations: 1) Use implicit string conversion, instead of String constructor. Especially if the expected input is string, like in functions: capitalize, downcase, upcase, truncate, truncate_words and replace (jsperf test: http://jsperf.com/implicitstringconversion) 2) Instead of js.substr(0,1), use equivalent js[0].
