Passing JSON to Jade from Node

Question

JSON passed to template engine, Jade:

[ { _id: 531fb4f6ae8a7ad5a58c65fa,
    goals: 'adsfasdfasdfas',
    exam: 'asdfasdf',
    __v: 0 },
  { _id: 531fb5cadd70a399a6ed1213,
    goals: 'asdfasdfasdf',
    exam: 'adsf',
    __v: 0 } ]

The Jade template:

h1 Listings
for i in data
  #{i.exam}

The output:

---empty space---

I can output #{i} just fine. I'm getting rather frustrated with Jade and wondering if I should go back to Django, which is super forgiving. Anyone have any ideas why this isn't working?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Add a html tag to the Jade template:

h1 Listings
for i in data
  p #{i.exam}

Answer 2

Maybe you didn't define 'data'. try this:

{
   data:
  [
    {
        _id: '531fb4f6ae8a7ad5a58c65fa',
        goals: 'adsfasdfasdfas',
        exam: 'asdfasdf',
        __v: 0 
      }
  ]
}

and make sure the value of String enclosed in quotes.

Answer 3

If you need show datas without html tags, use | symbol;

example:

h1 Listings
for i in data
  | #{i.exam}
