Getting individual elements from the JSON object

[jessecheu]

Hi, you have the example

{{ _.forEach(order.products, function(product) { }}
	<li>{{- product.name }}</li>
	<li>{{- product.price }}</li>
{{ }); }}

for rendering an array of objects.
How can I render just a single attribute from the object like USER.firstname in the example?

      {
        // this object must include all variables you're using in your email template
        USER: {
          firstname: 'John',
          lastname: 'Doe',
        },
        order: {
          products: [
            { name: 'Article 1', price: 9.99 },
            { name: 'Article 2', price: 5.55 },
          ],
        },
        shippingCost: 5,
        total: 20.54,
      }

I have never used lodash so this is the first time I am having to try it.
I noticed from the lodash document it would be _.get(), I tried
{{ _.get(orderDetails, 'user.firstname', 'Guest'); }}.
Any suggestions would be helpful, thank you.

Hi @jessecdob, you should be able to access to object keys using the dot notation or the bracket notation like this:

// dot notation
{{= USER.firstname }}

// or bracket notation

{{= USER["firstname"] }}

// or lodash .get method

{{=  _.get(USER, 'firstname', 'Guest'); }}

I think you missed the = sign after the parenthesis, which is necessary to interpolate the code. Here the docs

Ps. do you like the plugin?
