include is either fundamentally broken or not sufficiently documented about ejs

include is compile-time

[ForbesLindesay]

Because the include has to be loaded synchronously, it must be loaded at compile time, which means that the value of tplBody is unknown. QEJS supports async rendering of partials (so it doesn't have to happen at compile time) and is otherwise almost identical to EJS. Alternatively I suggest you watch #69

[tj]

we dont even really need async partials, it's more efficient to cache anyway so a single initial sync hit doesn't matter much

Hello,

sorry to bother, but i'm facing the same problem that MarkTraceur mentioned. An asynchronous include would be really helpful in this case (layout + dynamic partial rendering).

Is it a feature in development or is there a way to write my own function ?

I'm working on it, I've just been a bit busier than expected over the last few weeks. See: #69
