  var entity = _.pick(req.body, 'password', 'fullName', 'email', 'userName', 'phone', 'companyName', 'companyWebsite');
  // hash password
  entity.password = bcrypt.hashSync(entity.password, config.SALT_WORK_FACTOR);
  async.waterfall([

      if(entity.userName) {

        userService.findByUsername(entity.userName, function(err, user) {
          if(err) {

            cb(err);


          } else if(user) {



            cb(new errors.ValidationError('Cannot create user, userName already exists', httpStatus.BAD_REQUEST));


          } else {


            cb();
          }
        });
      } else {

        cb();
      }
    },
    function(cb) {

      if(entity.email) {

        userService.findByEmail(entity.email, function(err, user) {
          if(err) {

            cb(err);
          } else if(user) {

            cb(new errors.ValidationError('Cannot create user, email already exists', httpStatus.BAD_REQUEST));

          } else {
            cb();
          }
        });
      } else {
        cb();
      }

You can Print the data passed from server side part to ejs using

<%=%>

for example: <%=user%> will print user.

When err object exsists send it as third object to the ejs file and read it in the same way.

if(err){
res.render('register', {user : undefined, success :true,successs :true,error: err});
}

and in the View

<%if(typeof error == "undefined"){%>
        //Show some HTML here
 <% } else { %>
         //Show other html when you send error obejct sent
         <%= error.message%> //For Example
    <%}%>
