Can Express with EJS render HTML to a variable (so I can send as e-mail)?
Question
I am writing a nodejs application that will be sending html e-mail using emailjs . Basically I provide the html to send as a variable that I attach to the message.
Rather than build this variable using lots of string concatenation, I'd like to just render a view using express/ejs and save the contents to the variable.
So instead of doing:
messageHtml = '<html>'+ ....
message.attach({data: messageHtml, alternative: true});
I'd like to do something like:
messageHtml = render('emailTemplate.ejs', viewArgs);
message.attach({data: messageHtml, alternative: true});
Can this be done, and if so, how?!

Just require ejs directly and use as per the example , eg simplified usage (without caching):
var ejs = require('ejs')
, fs = require('fs')
, str = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/emailTemplate.ejs', 'utf8');
var messageHtml = ejs.render(str, viewArgs);
message.attach({data: messageHtml, alternative: true});
