Sendgrid-nodejs: subject in dynamicTemplateData is not encoding correctly

[januszhou]

Issue Summary

if subject contains ', it doesn't encode correctly. However, it works fine in email body, eg. Some'd One looks good in body content.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set subject to {{subject}}
2. Set dynamicTemplateData = {subject: "You've been"}
3. Email subject become You've Been

Technical details:

• sendgrid-nodejs Version: 6.3.1

Hi @januszhou,

Thanks for reporting this! I've added this to our backlog for further investigation.

With Best Regards,

@thinkingserious I had a look at this one & it seems like the sendgrid API does not support some special characters ' , ` in the subject. Check this.

@januszhou @geekyd @nvthai

We actually have a note about this in our docs. The encoding that happens is just part of handlebars and is talked about in handlebars documentation:

Handlebars HTML-escapes values returned by a {{expression}}. If you don't want Handlebars to escape a value, use the "triple-stash", {{{.

So with all that said make sure you are using "triple-stash", {{{.
