How do I handle errors in EJS?

In EJS, you can handle errors by using try-catch blocks in your JavaScript code. This allows you to catch any exceptions that occur during rendering.

Can you show me an example of using try-catch in EJS?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

try {
    res.render('template', { data: myData });
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error rendering template:', error);
    res.status(500).send('Internal Server Error');
}

What if I want to display a custom error message in the template?

You can pass an error message to your template and display it conditionally. For example:

res.render('template', { error: 'Something went wrong!' });
``` And in your EJS file, you can check for the error variable and display it.

Thanks! Is there a way to log errors to a file?

Yes, you can use Node.js's built-in fs module to write errors to a log file. Just append the error message to a file in your catch block.
