split string to array

[cdel...@twitter.com]

Hello!

I was wondering if there was a way to convert a string into an array.

This is possible in Jinja2 by using the "split" filter:

{% set candy = "twix|kit kat|butterfinger|snickers" %}

{% set candyArray = candy|split("|") %}

Does it go by another name in Nunjucks?

Thanks!

Dear Chris

Please find Nunjucks filter solution without making custom filter, another option is to  make custom filter and return value.

var nunjucks = require('nunjucks');
var env = new nunjucks.Environment(null, { autoescape: false });

var pipe = '{% set candy = "twix|kit kat|butterfinger|snickers" %}{% set candyArray = candy.split("|") | dump %}{{candyArray}}';

var source = nunjucks.compile(pipe, env);
var template = source.render(pipe);

// Need to parse template value as we implemented dump filter
template = JSON.parse(template);
    
console.log(' -- template: ' + template[1]);
