How to pass array from php to javascript using smarty 3?

Question

In php file When I code like this

$names = ["jim", "lucy"];
$smarty->assign('names', $names);

In javascript,

var arr = {$names};

Smarty will parse the {$names} as ...&quot... .

What should I do to avoid this? I want Smarty parse the array as

var arr = ['jim', 'lucy'];

In php:

$names = ['jim', 'lucy'];
$smarty->assign('names', $names);

In javascript,

var arr = {$names|json_encode};

Notice: If you changed your smarty default_modifiers to array('escape:"html"'), use

var arr = {$names|json_encode nofilter};

to make everything work.

Good luck.
