How to include a view conditionally in ejs?

I only want to show dashboard in my ejs template when my session variable person is not null or not undefined.

But it's just showing the dashboard every time. and in my log statement, the person value is undefined.

<%= console.log(person); %>
<% if (person !== null || person !== undefined) { %>
<%- include("dashboard"); %>
<% } else { %>
<%- include("login"); %>
<% } %>

What could be the proper way to do it?

It can be done in following way:

<%- include(person !== null && person !== undefined ? "dashboard" : "login"); %>

I'm not sure but can you try changing the if statement to

<% if (person) { %>

It will simple return true if person is not null or undefined
