I am using node.js, express with jade/pug.

As an example I have the following in an index.js file.

 res.render('index', { x: 'home' });

As a test to make sure I am passing the value correctly I am using the following to display the value 'home' on index.pug.

 #{x}

This renders the value as the tag home.

 <home></home> instead of the word home

How do I get the word home instead of a tag? How would I get the value into

 include ../components/#{x}.pug

so what is the question? – andrew.butkus May 19 '16 at 13:39
just specify a tag before it like: `h1 #{x}` or `h1= x` – timolawl May 19 '16 at 13:40
sorry andrew.butkus I edited the question. – dutchlab May 19 '16 at 13:41
Are you using jade or ejs ? – Sofiene Djebali May 19 '16 at 13:50
timolawl that works. However what I am ultimately trying to do is use the value that is passed to have a specific view loaded based on app routing. So I would like to have an include ../components/#{x}.pug and get home in place of the #{x} – dutchlab May 19 '16 at 13:50
you should change the question to describe that, then. @SofieneDJEBALI, that's jade – cviejo May 19 '16 at 13:51
Sofiene: Using Jade or the current name pug. – dutchlab May 19 '16 at 13:52
