Question

I'm getting a rendering error in node.js with vash. I'm really struggling to see what the issue is. Below is the error and the code causing the error. 

TypeError: Problem while rendering template at line 4, character 2.
 Original message: object is not a function. Context: 2 |
 @html.block('body', function(model){ 3 | <p>@model.title </p> > 4 |

router:

app.get("/", function (request, response) {
    response.render('index', {title: 'letsdoit'});
});

layout.vash

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><link href="/css/site.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<title>@model.title</title></head>
<body><div> @html.block('body') </div></body></html>

index.vash

@html.extend('layout', function(model){
    @html.block('body', function(model){
        <p>@model.title </p>
    });
});
Was it helpful?

Solution

In your index.vash file, make sure the path to the layout.vash file is correct.

For example, if the views folder structure is views/home/layout.vash and views/home/index.vash, then:

@html.extend('layout', function(model){

should be:

@html.extend('home/layout', function(model){

hope it helps.
