I am developing a website with express.js, and I would like to know how to export a variable in javascript from an ejs file to a js file.
ejs file :
<div class="select">
<select id="selection_channel">
<%
let channelText = guild.channels.cache.filter(channel => channel.type == 'text');
channelText.forEach((channel)=>{
%>
<option value="<% channel.id %>">#<%= channel.name %></option>
<% }); %>
<p></p>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/submit.js"></script>
</select>
</div>
I would like to export the strUser variable to a my js folder.
My js file :
// Settings endpoint.
app.post("/dashboard/:guildID", checkAuth, async (req, res) => {
// We validate the request, check if guild exists, member is in guild and if member has minimum permissions, if not, we redirect it back.
const guild = client.guilds.cache.get(req.params.guildID);
if (!guild) return res.redirect("/dashboard");
const member = guild.members.cache.get(req.user.id);
if (!member) return res.redirect("/dashboard");
if (!member.permissions.has("MANAGE_GUILD")) return res.redirect("/dashboard");
// We retrive the settings stored for this guild.
var storedSettings = await GuildSettings.findOne({ gid: guild.id });
if (!storedSettings) {
// If there are no settings stored for this guild, we create them and try to retrive them again.
const newSettings = new GuildSettings({
gid: guild.id
});
await newSettings.save().catch(()=>{});
storedSettings = await GuildSettings.findOne({ gid: guild.id });
}
//var strUser = require('./templates/settings.ejs')
// We set the prefix of the server settings to the one that was sent in request from the form.
storedSettings.prefix = req.strUser //req.body.prefix
console.log(req.body.strUser)
// We save the settings.
await storedSettings.save().catch(() => {});
// We render the template with an alert text which confirms that settings have been saved.
renderTemplate(res, req, "settings.ejs", { guild, settings: storedSettings, alert: "Changement effectué avec succès." });
});
