Printing EJS variable with string quotes

Question

I'm trying to send an array from my backend in node to the frontend with EJS files.

thisis the array in backend:

[ '2017-12-06T13:45:00.000Z',
  '2017-12-06T13:50:00.000Z',
  '2017-12-06T13:55:00.000Z',
  '2017-12-06T14:00:00.000Z',
  '2017-12-06T14:05:00.000Z',
  '2017-12-06T14:10:00.000Z',
  '2017-12-06T14:15:00.000Z' ]

but when I print in EJS file like this:

<%= price_labels %>

I get this in rendered HTML:

[2017-12-06T13:45:00.000Z,2017-12-06T13:50:00.000Z,2017-12-06T13:55:00.000Z,2017-12-06T14:00:00.000Z,2017-12-06T14:05:00.000Z,2017-12-06T14:10:00.000Z,2017-12-06T14:15:00.000Z]

without string quotes. How can I get the string quotes?

Answer 1

If you want to "unescaped" value, change <%= to <%- , for eg:

<%- price_labels %>
