How to access local variables from res.render from client side javascript?

Question

I am using node.js express 4

at my index.js routes file I have this

router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('index', {items: myItemsdocs});
}};

at my index.hbs view I'm trying to use items as a javascript variable

var jsItems = items;
var name1 = jsItems[Object.keys(jsItems)[0]].itemName;
alert(name1);

but nothing happens .. how can I use items object I have in the client side javascript ?

my template engine is express-handlebars

My example will only work for numbers; if you have a string, you need var jsItems = "{{items}}"; If it's an array or anything like that, you need to serialize it, then parse it back into an object. — user5734311

From the client side you can load them to an array, and the client side can take the that array like below:

// in server side 
var dizi = [true,result._id]; res.send(dizi);

// and the client side (in js file)
var dizi  = response.data;
var mantiksal = dizi[0];
var _id = dizi[1];
