examples

ejs-cli "*.ejs" --out dest/ --options options.json
# renders the *.ejs files in the current working directory and outputs compiled files to dest/

ejs-cli --base-dir src/ "*.ejs" --out dest/
# renders the *.ejs files in src/ and outputs compiled files to dest/

ejs-cli --base-dir src/ "**/*.ejs" --out dest/
# renders the *.ejs files in src/ and its subdirectories and outputs compiled files to dest/

Make sure to quote the file pattern, otherwise, your shell will expand it before it is passed to ejs-cli. This behaviour would prevent ejs-cli from walking down the tree in this latest exemple.

ejs-cli --base-dir src/ "**/*.ejs" --exclude "partials/" --out dest/
# exclude any "partials" directory from rendering
