How can I get data from json into pug template without the help of Gulp? Inclusion or what?

Answer 1

json must first be converted to data outside the template engine

var pug = require('pug');
var fn = pug.compileFile('path to pug file', options);
var locals = require('./block.json');
var html = fn(locals);

The template engine should not implement the data retrieval logic, its task is to display the data.

Answer 2

var pug = require('pug');
var fn = pug.compileFile('path to pug file', options);
var html = fn({'req': require});

=====
//pug file

- var menu = req('./block.json')

ul.blocks
        each link, title in menu.blocksData
               li.blocks__item
                        a(href="link")= title
