I have a results variable that is an array of objects. I carry the results variable from my javascript file to my main route file. I am trying to render my page to display lists of each object in my template ejs file. I am able to list everything fine, but the lists are coming out as [object object] instead of the actual words that are in the objects. How do I get this to display as strings in my template file?
This is my route file:
app.get('/announcement', function(req,res){
var getAnnouncements = require('../public/javascripts/announcement.js'); //Load the module, get the name of the script file
//define the functions here
var onSpreadsheetSuccess = function (results) { //result is announcementArray
//add results list to template);
res.render('announcement', {title: "Announcement page", results: results});
}
getAnnouncements.loadSheet(onSpreadsheetError, onSpreadsheetSuccess); //call the function from script with the parameters passed
})
This is what I am doing in my template ejs file:
<ul>
<% results.forEach(function(result){ %>
<li><%= result %></li>
<% }); %>
</ul>
<ul>
<% for(var i=0; i<results.length; i++) { %>
<li>
<%= results[i] %>
</li>
<% } %>
</ul>
My answer is as follows. I changed one line from the answer by other person.
<ul>
<%for (var result in results){%>
<li><%=result%>:<%=results[result]%></li>
<%}%>
</ul>
