Is there any better ways to populate Jade based select fields, I am currently using this example. Is there any better ways to not ruin the template code?
the item value is 'day' example.
select
repeation = [ 'no-repeat', 'day', 'week', 'month']
for item in repeation
if job.repeat == item
option(selected="true") #{item}
else
option #{item}
Also what about displaying multiple selections, when the item is array of ['day', 'week']?
// Edit small possible solution for multiple element
enginges = [ 'google', 'bing', 'yahoo', 'duckduckgo']
for engine in enginges
option(selected=job.sources.indexOf(engine) != -1) #{engine}
You should be able to do something like:
for item in repeation
option(selected=job.repeat == item) #{item}
The same concept should be able to be applied to a multiple item select drop down.
