SyntaxError: Unexpected token '&'. Expected a property name

Question

I'm using Slim. When I describe a javascript: block, I use this inside the JS code:

javascript:
    var tteesstt = #{users.select(:id, :email).order(:email).to_json};

But I get this error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '&'. Expected a property name.

I tried to wrap in JSON.parse(), but it did not help.

Tell me, please, how to solve the problem?

Answer 1

In Slim, we can do assign JSON data as JS object using {{}}.

javascript:
  var tteesstt = #{{users.select(:id, :email).order(:email).to_json}};
  console.log(tteesstt); // ensures it gets the data as expected.
