How to pass variable to js part of jade template?

Question

Node.js

There is a jade template with a case. How to pass the value of the name variable to this case?

case name
 when 'Вася'
  p Васильевич
 when 'Петя'
  p Петрович

I tried to assign to the variable the value passed by the server side - var name = #{name}, and only then push it into the case, but then it gives an error

SyntaxError: Unexpected character '#' (04:11)

Answer 1

When you assign a value to a variable, you don't need to use #. this construction is used for interpolation. Just use name.
