Let's say I saved a snipplet of a footer. How do I "include" that in my current template?

EJS (Embedded JavaScript Templating) is one of the most popular template engines for JavaScript. As the name suggests, it lets us embed JavaScript code in a template language that is then used to generate HTML.
I know this question has already been marked as answered, but I believe what you were looking for is the 'partial' syntax. In EJS, you can include the content from one view template in another like so:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
Blah blah blah
<%- partial('footer') %>
</body>
</html>
EJS makes it very simple to use includes. Here is how it is described in the EJS README:
Includes are relative to the template with the include statement, for example if you have "./views/users.ejs" and "./views/user/show.ejs" you would use <% include user/show %>. The included file(s) are literally included into the template, no IO is performed after compilation, thus local variables are available to these included templates.
<ul>
<% users.forEach(function(user){ %>
<% include user/show %>
<% }) %>
</ul>
So, in your case, if the footer resides in the same directory as the file you want to include it in, you would simply add <% include footer %> to your file.

You can include the ejs template by
<% include includes/header.ejs %>
the right syntax is <%- include('<path>', <object with extra parameters>) %>
include is a function Includes are relative to the template with the include call. (This requires the 'filename' option.) For example if you have "./views/users.ejs" and "./views/user/show.ejs" you would use <%- include('user/show'); %>.
You'll likely want to use the raw output tag (<%-) with your include to avoid double-escaping the HTML output.

In Same DIR<%- include('header'); -%>
Root DIR<%- include('../partials/header'); -%>
Works with EJS v3.0.1

Easy to use include in ejs by using this syntax:
<% include filename %>
Note: file should be inside views.

This syntax <% include filename %> is not working anymore. <%- include('[relative path]'); %> this syntax works
