I'm using Pug with Express and I'd like Pug to process variables that are inside other variables, is this possible?
So in the example below I have the #{name} variable inside the #{website.greeting} variable which should resolve to Henry when the template is rendered.
Content file:
//data.json
{
"heading": "Welcome to this website.",
"greeting": "Hello #{name}, how are you today?"
}
Express code:
//app.js
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.locals.website = parseJsonFile('data.json')
next()
}
function parseJsonFile(filename) {...}
//index.js
router.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
var context = {
name: 'Henry'
}
res.render('template', context)
}
Pug template:
//template.pug
html
body
h1 #{website.heading}
p #{website.greeting}
Desired output:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to this website.</h1>
<p>Hello Henry, how are you today?</p>
Is this possible, or should I simply do a find & replace on the res.locals.website variable before rendering the template with pug?
Thanks.
via Henry
