Hi Community Folks,
I have a scenario in which I have to pass some custom data based on user's properties to welcome email template in nodebb. How can I achieve this ?
Feedback appreciated
Thanks
Templates.js html server rendering
-
Usecase
- User make an API request on url, eg. http://localhost:4567/api/test?message=world.
- Server render the template with the message "world" and send back the response, eg.
Template hello.tpl:
<html> <body> <div>hello {message}</div> <body> <html>The code in the controller is
res.render('user/hello.tpl', req.query);. The response I got back is a json instead of a html page:{ "message": "world", "loggedIn": true, "relative_path": "", "template": { "name": "user/hello.tpl", "user/hello.tpl": true }, "url": "/hello", "bodyClass": "page-hello" }What have I miss? Please advise, thanks!
-
The NodeBB middleware automatically sets the response type to JSON for any route beginning with
apiSet the begining of the route to anything other than
apiand it should work. -
Alternatively, I think setting
res.locals.isAPI = falsebefore you render would also work.

Thanks again @yariplus, it works with
res.locals.isAPI = false. -
@Bruce-Lee first, remove the
.tplfrom the route. -
@PitaJ do you mean to code as
res.render('user/hello', req.query);
instead of
res.render('user/hello.tpl', req.query);
