Node JS Pass a Variable to Jade / Pug

Question

For some reason I can\'t pass a variable to the pug template with Node JS.

app.get(\"/\", function (req, res) {
    res.render(\'index\', { hello : \'Hey\'}          


        

Answer 1

Try this.. works for me.

nodejs part / index.js

const router = require('express').Router();
router.get('/', (req, res, next) => {
    const testObj = {hello: 'Hey'};
    res.render('index', { testObj: JSON.stringify(testObj) });
});

pug/jade part / (index.pug)

script.
    var testObj = !{testObj};

i'm using pug version: 2.0.3
