Display data inside input value using Jade

Pug 0.1.0 (Jade 2.x) removed support for interpolation in attributes, so this works now:

input(type="text", name="date", value=viewpost.date)

javascript node.js express pug

You can try enclosing the variable in #{} to output it:

input(type="text", name="date", value="#{viewpost.date}")

javascript node.js express pug

I realize this is old news, but I found that neither of these worked, and ended up doing it like this, for anyone stumped like I was:

input(type="text", placeholder=data.string)

and then in a script:

$(document).on('focus', 'input', function(){    var text = $(this).attr('placeholder');    $(this).val(text);})

thx
