I am trying to iterate a JSON doc using JADE.
my server(running node.js + express) is doing the following on a .get() request,
app.get('/search/', function(req,res){
// Parse the query
var dbQuery = url.parse(req.url, true).query;
var product = dbQuery.product;
var category = dbQuery.category;
console.log('Searching for: ' + product + ' in ' + category);
//Mongo DB setup then query
var result;
var server = new mongodb.Server('23.23.129.158', 27017, {});
new mongodb.Db('militaryListDB', server, {}).open(function(err, client){
if(err) throw err;
var collection = new mongodb.Collection(client, 'products');
collection.find({}).toArray(function(err, results){
console.log(results);
console.log(JSON.stringify(results));
res.render('results', {result: JSON.stringify(results), title: 'Test'});
});
});
});
and this is what it is rendering to the client.
[{"_id":"50738ebbe3d87c6beaddb6f2","name":"tv","category":"tech","cost":"30"}]
I have read over the jade documentation for iterating an array and I thought it would be the same for JSON, but it isn't working. It is just displaying a blank space. When I try this,
extends layout
block content
div#wrapper
p #{results}
it will display the JSON doc. But when I try this,
extends layout
block content
div#wrapper
p #{results.name}
and it displays a blank space. When it should be displaying is "tv". If someone could help me understand iterating JSON docs that would be awesome.
Thank you!
