Pass on multiple arrays in October CMS - arrays

Question

I have a list in October CMS like this:
<ul>
<li {% if this.page.id=='some-id' %} class = "active" {% endif %}>
Item 1
</li>
<li {% if this.page.id=='some-id' %} class = "active" {% endif %}>
Item 2
</li>
<li {% if this.page.id=='some-id' %} class = "active" {% endif %}>
Item 3
</li>
</ul>
However, as you can see there is a lot of repitition so I decided to create array variables. I can pass on a single array variable but I am not sure how to do it for multiple arrays so my code can look something like this:
==
function onStart(){
$this['pageData']=[
'data' => [
'item' => ['Item 1','Item 2','Item 3'],
'id' => ['pageid1','pageid2','pageid3'],
'link' => ['dir/page1','dir/page2','dir/page3']
]
];
}
==
<ul>
{% for items in pageData %}
<li {% if this.page.id == items.data.id %} class="active" {% endif %}>
{{items.data.item}}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
I know this code is wrong but this is the idea. I can retrieve one object array if I write:
{% for items in pageData.data.item %}
<li>{{items}}</li>
{% endfor %}
But this of course only gives me a list of items inside the 'item' object. I hope I explained it well. Please let me know if I can provide more information to get this problem solved.

Answer 1

You can write it like this
==
function onStart(){
$this['records'] = [
[
'id' => 'pageid1',
'item' => 'Item 1',
'link' => 'dir/page1'
],
[
'id' => 'pageid2',
'item' => 'Item 2',
'link' => 'dir/page2'
],
[
'id' => 'pageid3',
'item' => 'Item 3',
'link' => 'dir/page3'
],
];
}
====
<ul>
{% for record in records %}
<li {% if this.page.id == record.id %} class="active" {% endif %}>
{{record.item}}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
this will work
if any doubts please comment.
