How to use ejs template for loading dynamic data?

[arif-pixako]

when i use ejs Template and include

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

in it, it gives errors while compiling like
ERROR in ./~/html-webpack-plugin/lib/loader.js!./src/html/app.ejs
Module build failed: SyntaxError: src\html\app.ejs:74

>> 74| <% var arr = JSON.parse(posts);
75| for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
76| {%>
