i recently started on a node project and two of the modules i'm using is express and EJS. but default i usually use eclipse as my IDE, it works well for java and decent for html and javascript. but one problem i'm having is that for .ejs files i get no markup color coding, or any form of code completion. it's basically just a plain file.
does anyone know how i can get eclipse to interpret .ejs files as .html files? i figure it's pretty similar except for the occasional embed tags. or a recommendation for an IDE more well suited to node.js/html/ejs development.
thanks!

To link the ejs pages to either html, php pages, you need to go to the app. js file and set the view engine correspondingly. app. set('view engine', 'ejs'); app.
EJS or Embedded Javascript Templating is a templating engine used by Node. js. The template engine helps to create an HTML template with minimal code. Also, it can inject data into the HTML template at the client-side and produce the final HTML.
EJS simply stands for Embedded Javascript. It is a simple templating language/engine that lets its user generate HTML with plain javascript. EJS is mostly useful whenever you have to output HTML with a lot of javascript.
For a specific file, try right-click, Open With -> Other... -> HTML editor. You can also set the file association globally under Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations.
On a Mac, the global setting is under Mac Option -> Preferences and all the same options.

As an addendum to rlegendi's answer, if you'd also like the proper html coloring, you need to go to "Content Types" (right above "Editors" in the Preferences). From here, select Text -> HTML and click on "Add..", including .ejs
