writing ejs in a script is giving me the error 'Expression expected'

Question

I have a script tag in my show.ejs file, and I have the following line:

<script>
    const post = <%- JSON.stringify(post) %>
</script>

I'm getting the error of 'Error Expected' on both the opening and closing ejs tags. I was wondering why this error occurs and if there was anything I'm doing that isn't allowed.

I just have same issue with VS code if you using VS you need to add to end of settings.json in cofiguration of html this line

"html.validate.scripts": false,

find html in bottom right

then find configure HTML language and add line to end of json file
