'\n```\n\n### Caching\n\nEJS ships with a basic in-process cache for caching the intermediate JavaScript\nfunctions used to render templates. It's easy to plug in LRU caching using\nNode's `lru-cache` library:\n\n```javascript\nlet ejs = require('ejs'),\n LRU = require('lru-cache');\nejs.cache = LRU(100); // LRU cache with 100-item limit\n```\n\nIf you want to clear the EJS cache, call `ejs.clearCache`. If you're using the\nLRU cache and need a different limit, simple reset `ejs.cache` to a new instance\nof the LRU.\n\n### Custom file loader\n\nThe default file loader is `fs.readFileSync`, if you want to customize it, you can set ejs.fileLoader.\n\n```javascript\nlet ejs = require('ejs');\nlet myFileLoad = function (filePath) {\n return 'myFileLoad: ' + fs.readFileSync(filePath);\n};\n\nejs.fileLoader = myFileLoad;\n```\n\nWith this feature, you can preprocess the template before reading it.\n\n### Layouts\n\nEJS does not specifically support blocks, but layouts can be implemented by\nincluding headers and footers, like so:\n\n\n```ejs\n<%- include('header') -%>\n\n My page\n
\n<%- include('footer') -%>\n```\n\n## Client-side support\n\nGo to the [Latest Release](https://github.com/mde/ejs/releases/latest), download\n`./ejs.js` or `./ejs.min.js`. Alternately, you can compile it yourself by cloning\nthe repository and running `jake build` (or `$(npm bin)/jake build` if jake is\nnot installed globally).\n\nInclude one of these files on your page, and `ejs` should be available globally.\n\n### Example\n\n```html\n\n\n\n```\n\n### Caveats\n\nMost of EJS will work as expected; however, there are a few things to note:\n\n1. Obviously, since you do not have access to the filesystem, `ejs.renderFile()` won't work.\n2. For the same reason, `include`s do not work unless you use an `include callback`. Here is an example:\n ```javascript\n let str = \"Hello <%= include('file', {person: 'John'}); %>\",\n fn = ejs.compile(str, {client: true});\n\n fn(data, null, function(path, d){ // include callback\n // path -> 'file'\n // d -> {person: 'John'}\n // Put your code here\n // Return the contents of file as a string\n }); // returns rendered string\n ```\n\nSee the [examples folder](https://github.com/mde/ejs/tree/master/examples) for more details.\n\n## CLI\n\nEJS ships with a full-featured CLI. Available options are similar to those used in JavaScript code:\n\n - `-o / --output-file FILE` Write the rendered output to FILE rather than stdout.\n - `-f / --data-file FILE` Must be JSON-formatted. Use parsed input from FILE as data for rendering.\n - `-i / --data-input STRING` Must be JSON-formatted and URI-encoded. Use parsed input from STRING as data for rendering.\n - `-m / --delimiter CHARACTER` Use CHARACTER with angle brackets for open/close (defaults to %).\n - `-p / --open-delimiter CHARACTER` Use CHARACTER instead of left angle bracket to open.\n - `-c / --close-delimiter CHARACTER` Use CHARACTER instead of right angle bracket to close.\n - `-s / --strict` When set to `true`, generated function is in strict mode\n - `-n / --no-with` Use 'locals' object for vars rather than using `with` (implies --strict).\n - `-l / --locals-name` Name to use for the object storing local variables when not using `with`.\n - `-w / --rm-whitespace` Remove all safe-to-remove whitespace, including leading and trailing whitespace.\n - `-d / --debug` Outputs generated function body\n - `-h / --help` Display this help message.\n - `-V/v / --version` Display the EJS version.\n\nHere are some examples of usage:\n\n```shell\n$ ejs -p [ -c ] ./template_file.ejs -o ./output.html\n$ ejs ./test/fixtures/user.ejs name=Lerxst\n$ ejs -n -l _ ./some_template.ejs -f ./data_file.json\n```\n\n### Data input\n\nThere is a variety of ways to pass the CLI data for rendering.\n\nStdin:\n\n```shell\n$ ./test/fixtures/user_data.json | ./bin/cli.js ./test/fixtures/user.ejs\n$ ./bin/cli.js ./test/fixtures/user.ejs < test/fixtures/user_data.json\n```\n\nA data file:\n\n```shell\n$ ejs ./test/fixtures/user.ejs -f ./user_data.json\n```\n\nA command-line option (must be URI-encoded):\n\n```shell\n./bin/cli.js -i %7B%22name%22%3A%20%22foo%22%7D ./test/fixtures/user.ejs\n```\n\nOr, passing values directly at the end of the invocation:\n\n```shell\n./bin/cli.js -m $ ./test/fixtures/user.ejs name=foo\n```\n\n### Output\n\nThe CLI by default send output to stdout, but you can use the `-o` or `--output-file`\nflag to specify a target file to send the output to.\n\n## IDE Integration with Syntax Highlighting\n\nVSCode:Javascript EJS by *DigitalBrainstem*\n\n## Related projects\n\nThere are a number of implementations of EJS:\n\n * TJ's implementation, the v1 of this library: https://github.com/tj/ejs\n * EJS Embedded JavaScript Framework on Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/embeddedjavascript/\n * Sam Stephenson's Ruby implementation: https://rubygems.org/gems/ejs\n * Erubis, an ERB implementation which also runs JavaScript: http://www.kuwata-lab.com/erubis/users-guide.04.html#lang-javascript\n * DigitalBrainstem EJS Language support: https://github.com/Digitalbrainstem/ejs-grammar\n\n## License\n\nLicensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0\n(
