I tried a simple parent/child template with ejs rendering engine but could not find a way to pass data to child template.

I am new to jsreport and your advise will be helpful. Thanks.

Ivan

parent template (ejs, text)


    


<% if (items) { %>

    <% items.forEach( function(item) { %>
    
    <% }) %>

    
        name
        amount
        child template
    

        <%= item.name %>
        <%= item.amount %>
        
            <% if (item.details) { %>
            {#child test-1-child-1 @data.child.id=<%= item.id %> }
            <% } else { %>
            no details
            <% } %>
        
      
<% } else { %>
no result
<% } %>

name	amount	child template
<%= item.name %>	<%= item.amount %>	<% if (item.details) { %> {#child test-1-child-1 @data.child.id=<%= item.id %> } <% } else { %> no details <% } %>

child template (ejs, text)

child.id
<%= child.id %>

sample data

{
    "items": [{
        "id": 1,
        "name": "abc",
        "amount": 1234.56,
        "details": [{
            "id": 1,
            "description": "line 1"
        }, {
            "id": 2,
            "description": "line 2"
        }]
    }]
}

However, child.id was not shown. Please see the output below.


    




    
        name
        amount
        child template
    
    
    
        abc
        1234.56
        
            
            child.id
<%

name	amount	child template
abc	1234.56	child.id <%

hi! child templates can't recognize dynamic data passed as params when called like this.

however there is a workaround, and here is an example of how to apply it for your case
