Node.js EJS express-validator for each

I'm going absolutely nuts trying to get this done with ejs. handlebars. no problem. but forcing to learn ejs.

What I am trying to do is get an error object and loop through the object and print out each message as a li.

   <% if (errors !== undefined){ %>
     <p>there are errors on page</p>
   <% for each(error in errors){ %>
     <li><%= error.msg%></li>
   <% }) %>
   <% }  %>

I have tried many different ways to get the data to display, but I cannot seem to find my hangup. How I should get each object's msg?

The above code is just a fraction of the code. Whole code

EDIT: Deleted information from post as it no longer pertains to my issue.

Found my error(s) [pun intended]

  1. I was using .mapped which makes the data an object.. i needed to do .array

  2. even with the object, the js I wanted to run does not work with objects (or at least i cant figure out how to loop through the objects specific properties).

  3. Correct syntax for the code I wanted to run is as follows:

      <% if (errors !== undefined){ %>
  <p>there are errors on page</p>
  <% for (const error of errors){ %>
  <li><%= error.msg %> </li>
  <% } %>
  <% }  %>
