How do I pass a data object to my view with express-handlbars?

I'm using express-handlbars as my template engine, and I can use it to place text into my script just fine:



res.render('index', {foo: "something"});



then in my template:
var foo = "{{ foo }}"



gives me foo = "something" in my client as I would expect. It works great for strings.



I can't figure out, however, how I can pass an entire object this way?






node.js express express-handlebars

You can pass it using a property like:



const data = { name: 'fooo' }

res.render('index', {foo: "something", data: data });


That way you will acess {{ data.name }}



Or you can pass the object directly



const data = { name: 'fooo' }

res.render('index', data);


and access using {{ name }}



To send the object to a javascript var into client you need to use the JSON.stringify(data)



var object = {{ JSON.stringify(data) }}

  • Actually if you only stringify it will work, because when the client loads it will be in the correct format. Remind to stringify directly on var, I mean without " like a string value
