I am using node.js express 4

at my index.js routes file I have this

router.get('/', function(req, res, next) { res.render('index', {items: myItemsdocs}); }}; 

at my index.hbs view I'm trying to use items as a javascript variable

<script type="text/javascript"> var jsItems = items; var name1 = jsItems[Object.keys(jsItems)[0]].itemName;  alert(name1); </script> 

but nothing happens .. how can I use items object I have in the client side javascript ?

my template engine is express-handlebars
