pathFor does not work with obj properties

[ChrisCinelli]

JS:

Template.nav.helpers({
  navItems: function () {
    return [
      {
       name: "Item1",
       route: "Item1.show",
      },
      {
       name: "Item2",
       route: "Item2.show", 
      }]
  }
});

nav.jade

template(name="nav")
  ul.nav
    each navItems
      li.nav-item
        a.nav-item-name(class=selected href=pathFor(route))= name

Error:

=> Errors prevented startup:

   While building the application:
   client/templates/nav.jade: Jade syntax error: Expected identifier, number,

I've modified a fork of this package to support passing arguments to attribute helpers, together with a few other useful features. The fork has been released as dalgard:jade.

I will keep the new package in sync with the original, should there be any updates, and generally continue maintenance until, hopefully, the two packages can be merged.

Just use a(href="{{pathFor route}}") in your jade file.

this worked for me: {{pathFor 'myTemplate'}}
