More than one parameter in clostache/render function? - mysql

Question

I am new to Clojure and I am trying to make a page where you can see all the news that are in a table on the left, and only sports news on the right of the page. I tried to add a new parameter to the clostache/render:
(defn render-template [template-file params param]
(clostache/render (read-template template-file) params param))
(defn welcome []
(render-template "index" {:sports (model/justSports)} {:news (model/all)}))
where the model/all and model/justSports are:
(defn all []
(j/query mysql-db
(s/select * :news)))
(defn justSports []
(j/query mysql-db
(s/select * :news ["genre = ?" "sports"])))
and the news should be shown like this:
<div style="background-color: #D3D3D3; width: 450px; height: 800px; position: absolute; right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; border-radius: 25px;">
<sections>
{{#sports}}
<h2>{{title}}</h2>
<p>{{text}}<p>
{{/sports}}
</sections>
</div>
<div class="container" style="width: 500px; height: 800px; position: absolute; left: 20px;">
<h1>Listing Posts</h1>
<sections>
{{#news}}
<h2>{{title}}</h2>
<p>{{text}}<p>
{{/news}}
</sections>
</div>
But it doesn't work. It just shows the data from the first parameter on the page. What do you think, how can I make this work?
P.S.
Don't mind the ugly css, I will work on that :)

Answer 1

The following should make it work:
(defn render-template [template-file params]
(clostache/render (read-template template-file) params))
(defn welcome []
(render-template "index" {:sports (model/justSports)
:news (model/all)}))
render has three "arities":
(defn render
"Renders the template with the data and, if supplied, partials."
([template]
(render template {} {}))
([template data]
(render template data {}))
([template data partials]
(replace-all (render-template template data partials)
[["\\\\\\{\\\\\\{" "{{"]
["\\\\\\}\\\\\\}" "}}"]])))
You were calling the 3-arity overload which takes [template data partials], so the second map with the :news key was being taken as the partials by clostache. You want to call the 2-arity version which takes just [template data], passing one map with keys :news & :sports.
