How to use <%= item %> in jquery in EJS?

I can use it like this in <html> tags but I wonder if I can use it in <script> tags.

<strong> <%= userx.email %></strong>

What I want is :

var email =  userx.email;

Answer 1

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
   var email = "";
   email = "<%=userx.email%>";
</script>

That's it.
