why Ejs not being recognized by vscode

June 24, 2022

I have searching for solutions but nothing working. I installed ejs extention on vs code and also dependency. added *ejs and html in setting and tried several solution on StackOverFlow. The answer should come as Its a Weekend or Weekday but <%KindOfDay%> EJS not working.

/view/list.ejs code is:

<body>
    <h1>Its a <%KindOfDay%> </h1>
</body>

and app.js code is:

const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");


const app = express();

app.set('views', path(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');


app.get("/", (req, res) => {

    var today = new Date();
    var currentDate = today.getDate();
    var day = "";

    if (currentDate == 6 || currentDate == 0) {
        day = "Weekend";
    } else {
        day = "Weekday";
    }

    res.render("list", { KindOfDay: day });
console.log(day);
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log("Server Running");
})

I am providing screenshots and marked in red.
