How can i read from JSON file in EJS?












1















I have a data.JSON file and i'm requiring it like this



 <!--server.js-->
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const data = require('data.json');


app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

// serve static files from the folders
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/views"));

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
var dataToEJS ={
title : "Magma Travel",
data : data
}
res.render("index", dataToEJS);
});


In my template .ejs i set the variable like this:



<title> <%= configuration.title%> </title>


and my JSON file is this



{
"configuration": {
"title": "Magma Travel",
"subtitle": "Agenzia Viaggi"
}


this is directory this is directory



why when I start my server.js he can't find the variable?
