Node JS Transfer Variable to Jade / Pug

Question

For some reason, I cannot pass the variable to the pug template using Node JS.

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

....

 extends layout.pug block content h1 #{hello} guy 

It just returns "guy" in the index.html file

Answer 1

I think you are using JADE coding (# {hello}) with the "pug" plugin (updated jade) with static .html - completely wrong.

run the following lines:

• use this first

   app.set('views', __dirname + '/public/views'); app.set('view engine', 'pug'); 

• how to convey this on your first visit

   app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.render('index', { title: 'Hey', message: 'Hello there!'}); }); 

• than echo in the template file "index.pug" in "/ public / views"

   html head title= title body h1= message 

Answer 2

perhaps you should set the code as ...

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