How can I render alert method from node.js to jade?

Question

I want to render 'jade view' with data.

like below,

app.get('/', function(req, res){
    res.render('alert', {msg: 'hi!'});
});

So, I wrote the jade code below: (alert.jade)

script.
    alert(#{msg});

2)

script.
    alert(=msg);

3)

script.
    alert(msg);

But nothing works.

How can I render it?

Try this in your script. tag

script.
    var msgStr = !{JSON.stringify(msg)};
    alert(msgStr)
