Jade template with variables (nodejs server side)

Question

So i want to show a contacts list and for that I have transformed each contact div into jade code, but I still have to populate the relevant fields. Can I do that on the server

Answer 1

Yes you can do that when you call render pass the object with data

res.render('your page', {pageData: {name : ['name 1', 'name 2']}});

Then inside jade you can do

span #{pageData.name[0]}

or if you want a loop

each item in pageData.name
  span #{item}
