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 

var jsItems = items; var name1 = jsItems[Object.keys(jsItems)[0]].itemName; alert(name1);

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

my template engine is express-handlebars

  • My example will only work for numbers; if you have a string, you need var jsItems = "{{items}}"; If it's an array or anything like that, you need to serialize it, then parse it back into an object. Commented Nov 21, 2016 at 0:31

From the client side you can load them to an array, and the client side can take the that array like below:

// in server side var dizi = [true,result._id]; res.send(dizi); // and the client side (in js file) var dizi = response.data; var mantiksal = dizi[0]; var _id = dizi[1];
