Use Asynchronous functions in EJS templates?

How to handle asynchronous function calls in the template?

I want to fetch some data (e.g. from GitHub API) and render them in the template.

Is it possible to do something like this?

<%
 fetchData(..., function (err, data) { %>
   <%- err ? "Error" : data.title %>
<% }); %>

I think in almost all cases, you should do any asynchronous stuff before you render your EJS string.

Something similar to this:

doAsyncStuff().then((data) => {
    let rendered = ejs.render(templateString, data);
});

@TimothyGu @RyanZim To have an ejs like syntax but with async support, what should I do? Is it possible to build it on top of ejs or should I parse everything from scratch again, like in ajs?
