Jade. Loop through directory of files

im working on a site where im using jade for the html. I have a folder which contains 20 ish .html-files.

How can I with jade create a loop that lists all these files on a single page? Eg: list the files names.

Currently I just have a simple for loop which obviously not works.

for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
  li= array[i]
}

In your server (PHP or another language) you can have a URL that respond with a JSON with a list of your html files

Something like this:

http://some.org/listfiles.json

And return something like this:

[
  "file1.html",
  "file2.html",
  "file3.html",
  ...
]

Then in your Javascript you use ajax to get the json and put it in a variable (For example you can use the library Jquery to get the json http://api.jquery.com/jquery.getjson/ ).

Then in Jade you can iterate throw the list of files.
