Call javascript functions in another file from EJS templates in Harp.js

Question

Trying to create a site using Harp.js here. I am using ejs templates and want to save some useful javascript functions in a central file. How should I do it? I tried to use

<% include _render_util.js %>

But this does not work (it seems that the js file is not parsed).

Any ideas? Thank!

Although there are ways to make this work (sometimes), this is not what was built into Harp.js. This often takes time to debug and unforeseen problems.

Here is a quick experiment that I did that worked (I did not test it):

helpers.ejs

say_hello, Hello, {name}.

<%
say_hello = function (name) {
  return 'Hello, ' + name;
}
%>

index.ejs

I include helpers.ejs (, ) , . <h1>Hello, beautiful</h1>.

<% include helpers.ejs %>
<h1><%= say_hello("beautiful") %></h1>
