copied!<p>Using the tip above about dynamicHelpers, and the magic of closures, I found a fairly elegant solution that works without involving the request object. The trick is to wrap the page title variable in a closure that provides a get() and set() function around it, and make that wrapper object the result of the page_title dynamic helper. </p> <p>Create a property.js: </p> <pre><code>exports.create = function () { var value = null; return { get: function () { return value; }, set: function (new_value) { value = new_value; } }; } </code></pre> <p>So calling create() returns an object with a get() and set() method on it, that get and set the closure variable.</p> <p>Then, in your app's setup code:</p> <pre><code> var property = require("./property.js"); app.dynamicHelpers ({ page_title: function () { return property.create (); } }); </code></pre> <p>Since the dynamic helper's value is the result of calling its function, in your view and template, the page_title variable will be the wrapper object with the get() and set() functions.</p> <p>In your view, you can then say:</p> <pre><code>- page_title.set ("my specific page title"); </code></pre> <p>And in your layout:</p> <pre><code>title= page_title.get() </code></pre> <p>To simplify this a bit further, adding this to property.js:</p> <pre><code>exports.creator = function () { return function () { return exports.create(); }; } </code></pre> <p>Lets you simplify the dynamic helpers declaration block to this:</p> <pre><code> var property = require("./property.js"); app.dynamicHelpers ({ page_title: property.creator() }); </code></pre>
