Is there a way to use ejs on the front-end? #752

I am looking to use a JS based templating on the front-end and I used ejs with Node but is there a way to use EJS on the frontend? I am getting TypeScript compiler errors with trying to use in in Angular as ejs relies on node processes.

You have to fetch and render your EJS code in Angular, as of what I remember of the time when I used it.

And, this will be achieved using HttpClient from '@angular/common/http' and Component & OnInit from '@angular/core'

i was just thinking i could have the template as a string and use the EJS render() method, but i cant even import EJS to use it. it references node's fs and process which dont exist on the frontend
