When I render a string with a newline, ejs throws a “TypeError: Cannot create property '_locals' on string” error

Question

I used ExpressJS to pass a string variable containing "\n" in the form of res.render('index', string) , and in ejs output it in the form of <%= string %> .

// string : abc\nabc\n

However, the string variable is printed in HTML, but the error text is printed on the page with "TypeError: Cannot create property '_locals' on string".

How can I output a string variable I have normally in ejs?

Answer 1

Since you need a new line escape character '\' as shown below:

string : abc\\nabc\\n
