After an hour or so of searching, I didn't find any help so I'm asking here (my question is in second code block on lines 5 & 6). I have an array of objects sent from server to client like so:
router.get('/tasks', ensureAuthenticated, function(req, res, next) {
db.tasks.find({ forUser: req.params.userId }, function (err, tasks) {
res.render('tasks', { tasks: tasks }); // EACH TASK(obj) FROM TASKS(arr) HAS ITS _id
});
});
And I'm showing those tasks on the client via handlebars like so: tasks.handlebars
<ul class="list-group">
{{#if tasks}}
{{#each tasks}}
<div class="list-group">
<!-- This is where I got lost, here in this href should be /task/:id -->
<a href='WHAT GOES HERE?' class="list-group-item list-group-item-action flex-column align-items-start">
<div class="d-flex w-100 justify-content-between">
<h5 class="mb-1">{{title}}</h5>
<div class="row" style="padding-left: 25px">
<small>From: {{dateCreated}}</small>
<small>To: {{deadline}}</small>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mb-1">{{description}}</p>
</a>
</div>
{{/each}}
{{else}}
<p>No tasks.</p>
{{/if}}
So on each task should go an onclick function that calls this on server:
router.get('/task/:id', ensureAuthenticated, function(req, res, next) {
db.tasks.findOne({_id: mongojs.ObjectId(req.params.id) }, function (err, task) {
if (err) res.send(err);
res.json(task);
});
});
According to the handlebars docs, you don't need the if block, an each block can be followed by an else at the same level. At first glance, you want href="{{this._id}}"
.
