Solved Unexpanded tokens in topics list parsed template output. No errors

[Qwertyzw]

I have an object that has an array of topics

obj = {
    topics:[
        topic1,
        topic2,
        topic3
    ]
}

The topics in this object are sorted in a desired order.
If I dynamically load a template (on the client side) and then
try to use it to render this list using

ajaxify.loadTemplate('partials/topics_list', function(temp) {
    var html = templates.parse(temp, obj )
    console.log(html)
});

I get html that is exactly what I want but also has things like [[global:posts]]
and [[category:no_replies]]. I'm getting the feeling that those were supposed
to be expanded by the parser.

Is partials/topics_list expecting obj to have more things other than the topics: []
and failing (silently?) because of that? Is there a second pass that needs to be invoked
after templates.parse ?

Goals: I rolled up a custom list of topics which I'd like to display on the frontend

You just need to translate the output as well. Check out the method app.parseAndTranslate

@baris said in Unexpanded tokens in topics list parsed template output. No errors:

Check out the method app.parseAndTranslate

Doesn't look like it can work as a drop in replacement for templates.parse

Could you point me to the documentation/Unminified Source code for this function? How do I use it?

Edit: Managed to get the unminified source by doing ./nodebb dev (was doing NODE_ENV=development node ./app.js before

Got it.

Final code looks like this

app.parseAndTranslate('partials/topics_list', obj, function(jqarr){
    var node = document.querySelector('.topic-list')
    node.innerHTML = jqarr.html()
})

@Qwertyzw in the future, you can use the Github search to find the source code for different apis.
