Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/14/2020 "EJS Framework Review" 5/5 What do you like best about EJS? While working with Express js I can easily communicate with the server and display data dynamically from the server to the client end. EJS is very easy to use. If you know basic HTML then you can easily write EJS. All you just need to learn how to write the syntax of the EJS. EJS caches the intermediate JS functions for fast execution which played a vital role in rapid development. This is very straightforward and great for dynamic development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about EJS? This is more difficult to read, especially for designer/HTML people who don't write JavaScript or don't have any basic idea of JavaScript. While debugging the error messages are not so helpful at all to me. Including Javascript and HTML on the same page could be a bit messy but I think it's ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is EJS solving and how is that benefiting you? Ejs helped me to display dynamic data from the server basically which is known as server-side rendering and fast development. Solved templating problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/21/2020 "Peter Minea - Review on EJS" 5/5 What do you like best about EJS? Its capacity to serve as a communication way between front-end and back-end (I am currently using it on a Node.js web application as a full-stack developer, and it helps me fast communicate with back-end variables (including the translations of the application!) from front-end HTML and Javascript blocks incorporated in HTML files. Its specific \<% %\> syntax provides us, developers, a great opportunity to handle back-end data from front-end and incorporate it into local variables. We pass the back-end data as parameters to the EJS View page - from the controller - and then, there we are! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about EJS? In plain Javascript (no HTML/EJS) files we cannot use the \<% %\> syntax to communicate with the back-end variables, like we can do in HTML-oriented code in .ejs files. Also, the Prettier plugin for formatting source code in Visual Studio Code is not very prepared to understand specific EJS markup - but it still able to format code in EJS files - whereas the Beautify plugin even deletes the markup data between \<\>, thus I had to disable this plugin for my project. Visual Studio Code is not yet fully prepared for EJS, my specific EJS code with \<% %\> markup is interpreted as "error code" with red signs. However, the code is compiled and works - which is good after all. Let's hope that EJS will be more supported on VSC, with modern code formatter plugins! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering EJS: If you worked with JSP, HTML, and CSS before and you want to learn a new front-end technology, then go for EJS! You will make it. The associated HTML syntax is already familiar to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is EJS solving and how is that benefiting you? Implementing the front-end part of a web application that has also been one of the winning projects in the EUvsVirus Hackathon in 2020. It works well with Bootstrap also! I built tens of pages with EJS in my application andI will continue working with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EJS is easy to use. It keeps the main (all) the features of HTML and CSS, and you can also inject data into the HTML template in the backend. You can add loops, control flows two these injected data. You can also add additional javascript scripts and libraries to the HTML template. You can also break your HTML template to several pieces, and reuse them later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about EJS? I am not aware that automated testing for EJS. Also, handle several js async functional can make the page really long and hard to read. I think react handles async functional calls much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
