Question

I’m using backbone.js and am curious if it’s possible to iterate through a generic object key/values in the tpl. Example:

Model data received from the server:

{
   id: "someid",
   data: {
      key1: "some value",
      key2: "some value"
   }
}

The tpl I’m using looks something like this:

<script type="text/template" id="tpl-object-list-item">
   <%%= id %> - <%%= data %>
</script>

which outputs something like this:

someid - [object Object]

I know it’s possible to use something like <%%= data.key1 %> but I’m wondering if it’s possible to iterate through the key/value pairs in data without explicitly calling them out.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes, it’s possible, by adding a code block to do the iteration:

<% for (var key in data) { %>
    <%= data[key] %> 
<% } %>
