Interpolation for parametrized blocks' arguments

[alvaro-cuesta]

layout.blade

block title(text)
  h1 text

view.blade

include "layout.blade"
- var text = "example"
render title("#{text}")

Rendering view.blade yields<h1>#{text}</h1>while I would expect<h1>example</h1>.

Am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible in current Blade?

Try render title (text) instead. ;)

That was a simplified example, my interpolated string is much more complex and I can't interpolate into a variable using JS, so... I guess I'm out of luck?

@alvaro-cuesta - You can't use interpolation in parameterized blocks' arguments. BUT... You're probably not out of luck. Could you post your example?

[alvaro-cuesta]

@bminer, it's more or less the same but the interpolated string is not a simple variable. I'm trying to use this in several places:

- var date = new Date
render title("Rándome - #{pageTitle} - #{date.getHours()}:#{date.getMinutes()}")

render random("Your random number is #{parseInt(Math.random() * (max-min) + min)}.")

etc.

Of course I could assemble the strings using plain JS, but interpolation is SOOOO cool I can't live without it :P I guess CoffeeScript (#39 :heart:) would do the trick.

[bminer]

Right, yes. Just assemble the strings using plain JS. String concatenation is cool, too. ;) Remember how hard it was to concatenate strings in C? All this fancy interpolation stuff, geez!

Just...

- var date = new Date
render title("Rándome - " + pageTitle + " - " + date.getHours() + ":" + date.getMinutes())

and similarly...

render random("Your random number is " + parseInt(Math.random() * (max-min) + min) + ".")

So, allow me to revise my prior post...

If you want string interpolation here, you are out of luck. As you pointed out, string interpolation doesn't work in JavaScript.
