It's unclear what you are asking, send to who and what object? — michelem

It looks like what you are doing should work fine. Do the user's name and email address show up in the table? Could you show your AngularJS test function as well? — Joost Vunderink

It looks like ejs stringifies whatever is inside the <%= %> tag. When I tried your code, I got this error:

Syntax Error: Token 'Object' is unexpected, expecting []] at column 16 of the expression [test([object] starting at [{4}].

So I can't reproduce your "undefined" behaviour.

However, it looks like there is a way for it to work:

<button ng-click="test(<%= JSON.stringify(usr) %>)">

The test function actually receives an object here, not a string.

Alternatively, you could only pass the id of the user to the delete function, like this:

ng-click="test(<%= usr.id %>)"

You can send any data via rendering templates.

   res.render("myPage",{title:"String",age:Number,userlist:[{},{},{}]}})
