Sails.js - Controller is rendering view but the collection is undefined

Question

Trying out Sails with a new controller, but the view doesn't render correctly. My controller looks like this:

/**
 * QuestionController
 *
 * @module      :: Controller
 * @description :: Contains logic for handling requests.
 */

module.exports = {

  /* e.g.
  sayHello: function (req, res) {
    res.send('hello world!');
  }
  */
  index: function (req, res) {
    return res.view({
      questions: [{title: 'Freddy a presidente?', content: 'Últimamente Freddy se encuentra con más diplomacia.'}]
    });
  }


};

While my view looks like this:

<h1>Preguntas</h1>
<ul>
  <% _.each(questions, function(question) { %>
  <li><%= question.title %></li>
  <% }) %>
</ul>

But I'm getting the following error:

ReferenceError: /home/alainus/dev/parlamenta/parlamenta/views/question/index.ejs:3
    1| <h1>Preguntas</h1>
    2| <ul>
 >> 3|   <% _.each(questions, function(question) { %>
    4|   <li><%= question.title %></li>
    5|   <% }) %>
    6| </ul>

questions is not defined

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Answer 1

try putting quotes around questions

return res.view({
  "questions": [{title: 'Freddy a presidente?', content: 'Últimamente Freddy se encuentra con más diplomacia.'}]
});
