Following is a pug snippet. I need to dynamically populate the user in chatConfig object.
script.
var chatConfig = {
user : 'foo',
pass : 'bar',
}
From my express , I am rendering as
resp.render('user/index', {username:req.user});
How do I pass the value of req.user to user key inside script.?
Brmmmm is on the right track, but you need to get your JavaScript to use the variable as an object, not as a variable. You can stringify the variable to get it to work as a JavaScript object.
doctype html
html(lang='en')
head
title Jade
- var test = {prop1: "Hi there", prop2: "Another test"};
script(type='text/javascript').
var test2 = !{JSON.stringify(test)};
console.log(test2, test2.prop1, typeof test2);
body
h1 Jade - template engine
#container.col
p I'm some Jade
Live Example; check the browser console/Codepen console to see what the console.log statements output.
I think it should look like this:
script.
var chatConfig = {
user : '${username}',
pass : 'bar',
}
