Struggling with multiple data types into template data

[dave42w]

Hi,

The earlier answer from @sunng87 ( #559 ) has been working great. Now, however, I want to put extra things into my template that are of a different types.

I'm not sure (and sorry I haven't been able to find it in the examples) how to have a vector of Models and other types (here a string) in my template data.

Should I be using some other collection than a BTreeMap? Should I have a nest of BTreeMaps? eg a BtreeMap that holds a BTreeMap of strings and another that holds a BTreeMap of vectors - and if so how do I refer to the data in the template?

To illustrate what I have tried here is a code snippet and I've included the compile error:

let warning_name = "Test Warning".to_string();

let places:Vec<place::Model> = Place::find().all(&s.db).await.expect("could not find any places");

let mut data = BTreeMap::new();
data.insert("place".to_string(), places);
data.insert("warning".to_string(), warning_name); // compile error as data is expecting struct Vec<Model>
s.handlebars.render("place_list.html", &data).unwrap().into()   

Thanks

Dave

Apologies, simple when I get my brain in gear. I'm just using a Struct instead of the BTreeMap.

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct PlaceContext {
    warnings: String,
    place: Vec<place::Model>,
}

...

let warning_name = "Test Warning".to_string();
let places:Vecplace::Model = Place::find().all(&s.db).await.expect("could not find any places");

let context = PlaceContext {
    warnings: warning_name,
    place: places,
};
s.handlebars.render("place_list.html", &context).unwrap().into()
