Jade: Access to variables in client JS-file

[Evgeny Nepomnyashchiy]

Hello,

I pass some parameters to jade renderer, example is res.render('add', {title: "Hello"}). On client-side I have external JS-file, how can I get an access to the title param? Code console.log(name) gets me undefined value.

Thank you!

Ooops, mistake. Fixed version: console.log(title).

Probably my the last post looks like a fix of the problem, but it was just a fix of mistake in my first post in the thread. Problem is still actual.

Those variables you pass to res.render are for you to use in the server-side jade file. They’re not made available to the client-side web browser’s JavaScript engine.

You need to serialize your server side Jade variables into client side variables. One way to do this would be trying something like this in your Jade view/template before you include your external JavaScript file...

script.

    var title = !{JSON.stringify(title)};
