Question

This is my code in index.jade:

- each question in questions
    - console.log('Question in index.jade: ', question);
    !=partial('question', question)

And this is my code in question.jade:

- console.log('Question in question.jade: ', question);

For some reason, both variables question are different. Am I doing something stupid?

Answer 1

You need to put the question variable in an object with a key of question and pass that to the second parameter of the partial function. For example:

- each question in questions
  !=partial('question', { question: question })

Then the partial view will have access to the question variable you want. Also, assuming you are using jade with express and the partial is the only thing in your each loop, there is a shorthand for that:

!=partial('question', {collection:questions})

This will automatically render the partial once for each element in the questions array.
