With Express 3 0    lt  - include myview ejs   gt    the path is relative from the caller who includes the file  not from the views directory set with app set  views    path to views     EJS includes   Update  the newest syntax for ejs v3 0 1 is  lt  - include  myview ejs     gt

EJS by itself currently does not allow view partials  Express does

Works with Express 4 x     The Correct way to include partials in the template according to this you should use     lt  - include  partials youFileName ejs     gt     You are using     lt   include partials yourFileName ejs   gt    which is deprecated

In Express 4 x I used the following to load ejs     var path   require  path          Set the default templating engine to ejs   app set  view engine    ejs      app set  views   path join   dirname   views           The views index ejs exists in the app directory   app get   hello   function  req  res        res render  index    title   title             Then you just need two files to make it work - views index ejs    lt  - include partials navigation ejs   gt    And the views partials navigation ejs    lt ul gt  lt li class  active  gt     lt  li gt     lt  ul gt      You can also tell Express to use ejs for html templates   var path   require  path    var EJS    require  ejs     app engine  html   EJS renderFile       Set the default templating engine to ejs app set  view engine    ejs    app set  views   path join   dirname   views         The views index html exists in the app directory app get   hello   function  req  res      res render  index html    title   title             Finally you can also use the ejs layout module   var EJSLayout   require  express-ejs-layouts    app use EJSLayout     This will use the views layout ejs as your layout

In oficial documentation https   github com mde ejs includes show that includes works like that    lt  - include     partials head     gt

As of Express 4 x   app js     above is all your node requires     view engine setup app set  views   path join   dirname   views      lt --   views has all your  ejs files app set  view engine    ejs      error ejs   lt  -- because ejs knows your root directory for views  you can navigate to the   base directory and select the header ejs file and include it -- gt    lt   include   base header   gt    lt h1 gt  Other mark up here  lt  h1 gt   lt   include   base footer   gt

Express 3 x no longer support partial  According to the post ejs   39 partial is not defined  39   you can use  include  keyword in EJS to replace the removed partial functionality
