I was wondering if there was a way, when rendering a javascript template with Node, to attach an object or values to the window object. For example, if I wanted to take the data that was passed to the res.render function and attach it to the window object for later use. Later use would be for hash routing. Currently I am using Nunjucks.
res.render('index', {data:{name:'Max'}});
// How could I attach data to the window object for later use.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
EDIT: I didn't make this clear, but when I was referring the the window object, I was referring to the client window object. Not a window object in Node. When rendering the template how can I add items to the window object.
You can render an inline script right to the html output:
<body>
<script>
window.data = {name: 'Max'};
</script>
</body>
But adding properties to global object is not recommended, better use a namespace like:
var app = {};
app.data = {name: 'Max'};
