title: How can I pass data from Flask to JavaScript in a template?
body: <p>My app makes a call to an API that returns a  dictionary. I want to pass information from this dict to JavaScript in the view. I am using the Google Maps API in the JS, specifically, so I'd like to pass it a list of tuples with the long/lat information. I know that <code>render_template</code> will pass these variables to the view so they can be used in HTML, but how could I pass them to JavaScript in the template? </p>
  
  <pre><code>from flask import Flask
  from flask import render_template
  
  app = Flask(__name__)
  
  import foo_api
  
  api = foo_api.API('API KEY')
  
  @app.route('/')
  def get_data():
      events = api.call(get_event, arg0, arg1)
      geocode = event['latitude'], event['longitude']
      return render_template('get_data.html', geocode=geocode)
  </code></pre>
