jquery - Server side data to client side. (Node.js + express) -

good evening. we're starting implement server side code @ school , it's confusing hell. have piece of code on client side .js links server side .js. server side contains array of 2 objects. i'm trying pull length of array through client side. i've tried postscontroller.all.length , other things no avail. clues?

var postscontroller = {  all: function() {   $.get('/api/posts', function(data) {     var allposts = data;      // iterate through allposts     _.each(allposts, function(post) {       // pass each post object through template , append view       var $posthtml = $(postscontroller.template(post));       $('#post-list').append($posthtml);     });     // add event-handlers phrases updating/deleting     postscontroller.addeventhandlers();   }); }, 

i think problem not receiving json data server, instead jquery interpreting text. recommend trying use:

$.getjson()
