Get variables from template

[ArmorDarks]

Hi

Sorry for quite newbie question.

Is there a way to get variables from template?

For example, I have index.nj template

{% set myVariable = "Variable value" %}

myVariable value is: {{ myVariable }}

What I need is to get myVariable from template before compiling it.

In other words, something like:

var nunjucks = require('nunjucks');

var env = nunjucks.configure('templates/');
var tmpl = env.getTemplate('index.nj')

// Now I need to get value of variable `myVariable` from template, like `tmpl.getVariables();`
// to process it afterward

... compilation stuff ...

Thanks in advance for any help

This goes against MVC - the view consumes the model, not the other way around.
Your templates should consume data provided to them from the controllers. If you need to go the other way, you are doing it wrong.

@mkoryak is right. This is not something nunjucks needs to support.
