Sails.js - passing data to a view

Question

I\'ve recently started learning how to use Sails.js and I came across a small issue.

I have a model called Applicant, as follows:

module.exports = {

  a         


        

Answer 1

Try

<%= apps[applicant].name %>

It's just like for loop works. applicant is an index in apps array.

Edit: Better way is to use javascript array's built in method forEach, because this way you avoid cycling through elements, inherited from apps's type (for example, elements, assigned like this: apps.__proto__.foo = {name: "bar"} or Array.prototype.foo2 = {name: "pi222"}).

<% apps.forEach(function(applicant)  { %>
    <li><%= applicant.name %> <%= applicant.email %></li>
<% }); %>

P.S. Of course this javascript's method (forEach) wouldn't work in IE <= 8(if you consider to use it in browser). But we are inside NodeJs, which is built on top of V8 engine. So this will work, anyway.
