I'm trying to get data (taken from mongo) to display into a textarea. It's purpose is so that I can edit data within the database without actually touching the database itself. I can display the data within normal HTML tags but I'm pretty clueless on how to get it to display it within a textarea (or any other tags that allow me to edit and re-submit the new data)
I'm rendering with EJS, and so far, everything display correctly with
<%= text %>
I just need it to work within a editable text area
