Variables not showing content on Jade template

I am learning Node.js using a book. There was an example that as a learning experience I converted from what it was to a SQL version of it.

This single page is only intended to display user information. I load the user information on a middleware then pass it to the Jade template. Everything working up to this point.

When I want to render the template below, wherever I user content from the user object, it renders nothing.

h1= user.Name
h2 Bio
p= user.Bio
form(action="/users/" + encodeURIComponent(user.User), method="POST")
  input(name="_method", type="hidden", value="DELETE")
  input(type="submit", value="Delete")

To check if the object was without content, I added this 2 lines on the front

-console.log ( 'Inside Jade' )
-console.log ( user )

and the result in the console is:

Inside Jade
[ { Name: 'Jennifer Lopes',
    User: 'jenny',
    Password: 'asd',
    Bio: 'Actress and singer' } ]

So this tells me that the information is there, but is not being rendered.

The code used to render the template is:

app.get ('/users/:name', loadUser, function ( req, res, next ) {
res.render ( 'users/profile', { title: 'User profile', user: req.user });
});

Can you please help me to understand what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

A little hard to tell without seeing all your code, but per the output of your console it looks like user is actually an array of objects based upon the brackets, if you change your jade template to output something like user[0].Name does it give you your expected values?
