Passing variable from ejs to js script












0















I am trying to pass a variable from ejs to JavaScript function but keep getting undefined in output. Here is the code. It is supposed to render a table with file names and clicking on each file name should later redirect to a page which would render the file in the browser but I can't proceed without passing the parameter to URL.



        <% if (files.length > 0) {%>
<table class="table table-hovered">
<thead class="thead-light">
<tr>
<th scope="col">No</th>
<th scope="col">File</th>
<% files.forEach((file, index) => { %>
<tr>
<th scope="row">
<%= index + 1 %>
</th>
<td>
<a onclick="func(file.fileName);">
<%= file.fileName %>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
<% }) %>
</tbody>
</table>
<% } %>
</div>
</div>
<script>
function func(fileName) {
window.location.href = "/thesis_view/" + fileName;
}
</script>




getStudentUploadThesisPage: (req, res) => {
const getFilesQuery = "SELECT fileName FROM supervision INNER JOIN thesis ON supervision.thesisId = thesis.id INNER JOIN thesis_details ON thesis_details.thesisId = thesis.Id INNER JOIN people ON supervision.teacherId = people.id INNER JOIN thesis_file ON thesis_details.id = thesis_file.thesis_detail_id WHERE supervision.studId = " + req.session.userId;
db.query(getFilesQuery, (err, result) => {
if (err) {
return res.status(500).send(err);
} else if (result.length >= 0) {
res.render('student_upload_thesis', {
files: result
});
}
});
}

    Can you show how you are passing data to the view?
