Accessing Express.js local variables in client side JavaScript

by

When rendering is done, only the rendered HTML is send to the client. Therefore no variables will be available anymore. What you could do, is instead of writing the object in the input element output the object as rendered JavaScript:

script(type="text/javascript").
    var local_data =!{JSON.stringify(data)}

EDIT: Apparently Jade requires a dot after the first closing parenthesis.
