Passing an array of dictionary to Javascript

Question

I have an array of dictionary in python, and I want to pass it to my front end to use.

This is what my pythonArrayObj looks like:

pythonArrayObj =[{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3}, {"a":4,"b":5,"c":6}, {"a":7,"b":8,"c":9}]

However, the problem is that when I do:

var test = {{ pythonArrayObj }};

It keeps giving an error due to the " quotation being converted into " if I try and do json.dumps(pythonArrayObj) before passing it to my front-end, or ' if I don't.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've been stuck on it for the last few days and would really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

You can use the safe filter to prevent translation of quote characters:

var test = {{ pythonArrayObj|safe }};

will result in

var test = [{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2}, {'a': 4, 'c': 6, 'b': 5}, {'a': 7, 'c': 9, 'b': 8}]

in your HTML source.
