How do I pass a data object to my view with express-handlbars?

I'm using express-handlbars as my template engine, and I can use it to place text into my script just fine:



res.render('index', {foo: "something"});



then in my template:
var foo = "{{ foo }}"



gives me foo = "something" in my client as I would expect. It works great for strings.



I can't figure out, however, how I can pass an entire object this way?






node.js express express-handlebars

You can pass it using a property like:



const data = { name: 'fooo' }

res.render('index', {foo: "something", data: data });


That way you will acess {{ data.name }}



Or you can pass the object directly



const data = { name: 'fooo' }

res.render('index', data);


and access using {{ name }}



To send the object to a javascript var into client you need to use the JSON.stringify(data)



var object = {{ JSON.stringify(data) }}

  • Actually if you only stringify it will work, because when the client loads it will be in the correct format. Remind to stringify directly on var, I mean without " like a string value

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
