static javascript not rendering in jade (with express/node.js)

Question

I hope you are well.

I\'m suddenly unable to render any external javascript in jade templates! To get to the bottom of things, I stripped it down to the bare minimum

Answer 1

you need to pass your script from the controller like that:

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.render('index', { title: 'Express', scripts: ['javascripts/script.js']});
});

and then in your head in layout.jade:

- each s in scripts
    script(src=s)
