Best approach to accessing the data from a template

Carl Blanchard

I would like to do some maths, counts, and other interrogation of the data from either template or a js file.
I am using the JSRender engine in all my reports the example below is using handlebars, when converting to JSRender it fails to work - most likely PEBCAK.

I found some examples on using scripts etc. the closest I have got was with this.

Which demonstrates one of my simple goals of making a count of the number of items in the JSON.

My two questions are :

Whats the recommended approach?
How do you go about referencing the data file for the report?

Thanks for the reply. I've had a play with what you suggest but data seems to be nothing???

My goal is to have a data file for a report and in the template access that data directly.

From data file...

{
"Status": "O",
"AssetAssessments": [
{
"CountOfFindings": 1,
"EquipmentCompliesWithStandard": "N/A",
"Findings": [
{

In report template

See what I mean ?
