Using a Javascript variable as an index of EJS Array - NODEJS

Question

Here is my Jquery Code

$(document).on("click", "a.icons", function() {
                    var eventId = $(this).data('id');
                    var patientName =  "<%= patients_list["+eventId+"].full_name%>";
                    $('#idHolder').html(patientName);

                });

What I want is to use a Javascript variable as an index of EJS Array?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Under what circumstances may I add “urgent” or other similar phrases to my question, in order to obtain faster answers? — Andreas

You can convert your EJS array to a JS array:

// Create a JS variable and assign your EJS variable value
var patients_list = <%- JSON.stringify(patients_list) %>;
$(document).on("click", "a.icons", function() {
  var eventId = $(this).data('id');
  var patientName =  patients_list[eventId].full_name;
  $('#idHolder').html(patientName);
});
