As a NodeJS developer who needs to render some HTML service side, I'm spoilt for choice when it comes to template languages -- mustache, handlebars, doT, Dust, EJS, etc. I could probably use a different template module every day of the month if I wanted.
However, as I research most of these template modules, I've found they all (seem to?) work with templates that are already loaded into Javascript as a string. For example, this is the hello world example from the EJS GitHub README -- your template goes in the str variable.
ejs.compile(str, options);
// => Function
ejs.render(str, options);
Is there a generally accepted way (i.e. "best practice") on how to store and load these sorts of templates in a server-side javascript application? (On disk loaded with the fs module? Something else?)
Bonus points: Is there a template module that has this functionality built in?
