How to pass data from express to ejs

Question

I have server.js file with query:

app.get('/tasks', function(req, res) {
  pool.query('SELECT * FROM tasks ORDER BY task_id ASC', (error, results) => {
    if (error) {
      throw error
    }
    console.log(results.rows[0]);
    res.render('pages/tasks', {data: results.rows});
  })
});

And in EJS file, where I would like to display data:

<main>
  <div>
    <h1>res: <% data %></h1>
  </div>
</main>

Unfortunately in EJS file variable data is empty while results.rows[0] in server.js file displays correct value.

How can I pass data from server.js to EJS file?

Answer 1

you are missing a "="

<%= data %>

and you have to iterate through data as its not a single data and if you wanna print a single data then pass only one data

res.render('pages/tasks', {data: results.rows[0]});
