why reportData is undefined?

hi,

I have report that gets data from api. and sets the value to req.data.reportData.


function beforeRender(req, res, done) {

var postRequest = (postOptions.port == 443 ? https : http).request(postOptions, (result) => {
       var str = '';

       result.setEncoding('utf8');
       result.on('data', (b) => str += b);
       result.on('end', () => {
           req.data.reportData = JSON.parse(str);
           done();
       })
   });

I want to use that value in normal javascript. but reportData is undefined.

<script>
document.querySelector("#theElement").innerHTML = reportData.theProp;
</script>

what am I missing here?

there were other reports that I copied having this usage {{{toJSON reportData.theProp}}}
but I want to be able to use directly from js. how can I do that?

it turned out I need to add helper.js file near the report template file.

and after call like this.
var reportData = {{{toJSON reportData}}};
