Is it possible to pass JSON object to ejs renderFile?

I'd rather not have to type out each field name of my ejs file. Here is what i'd like to do:

let html = null;
EJS.renderFile('./public/views/results.ejs', {JSON_OBJECT}, (err, str) => {
     html = str;
});

Something encapsulated in {} will create a new object.

So in

var JSON_OBJECT = {test: "value"};
var obj2 = {JSON_OBJECT}

obj2 will be an object with a property named JSON_OBJECT, which in itself has a property test.

EJS.renderFile accepts a JSON object as its second parameter. The properties the object can contain are described in the package description of ejs.
