pass locals in

[edrex]

For HTML compilation it is useful to pass local variables into a Jade template. How should this be handled in gulp-jade?

[edrex]

Nevermind. I looked at the tests and found that I can pass in locals using the data key. Still, a docs issue.

Should I add locals as an alias to data?

[diammondore]

can you share the example code how to use locals with data key?

[phated]

@diammondore I have no idea what you are talking about.

@phated I think @diammondore means an example of how to pass data to the compiler using this plugin. Here is a simple example:

gulp.task('templates', function() {
  gulp.src('src/templates/**/*.jade')
    .pipe(jade({
      pretty: true,  // Feed the compiler
      data: {        // Feed the templates
        title: 'Hello World!'
      }
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

sorry, my previous comment is not enough to describe my issues

@rayfranco thanks, your code works, but as global data, I need little different

i use template inheritance

layout.jade is primary, which contains header and footer

// layout.jade
doctype html
html
head
  ...
  title= pageTitle
  ...
body
  include ../partials/_header
  block content
  include ../partials/_footer

i am trying to pass page title using variable pageTitle

index and inner pages using same template (layout.jade) except page title and page content in main area

// index.jade
extends layout
pageTitle = "Frontpage title"
block content
  h1 frontpage content

// inner.jade
extends layout
pageTitle = "Inner page title"
block content
  h1 Inner page content

the issue is that the variable pageTitle is empty when jade compile the index.html and inner.html

I'm not good at coding, so often use examples from documentation
will be grateful for any advise
