EJS template data not rendering on home page

[KirkM9]

I am using ejs, and the data through my ejs template won't load, despite it showing it loads in my node server. This is how I am attempting to bring it in on my index.ejs home page:

<div class= "data">
        <%- include ('template.ejs', { data }); %>   
        </div>

and in my backend (index.js) , this is how I am rendering the data on my home page

res.render('index', {
          data: data
      });

Is there anything wrong with this approach?

I have some questions are you getting any ejs rendering errors is template.ejs in the same folder as this file(is the path correct)

<%= data %>
<div class= "data">
        <%- include ('template.ejs', { data }); %>   
 </div>

try doing this and see are you getting any value for data if yes try printing the value in the template file

<%# template.ejs %>
<%= data %>

Resolved it myself. Was an issue with my express server
