* Hi,
* On a website im working on I have the ability to request a variation description
by the following code:
{{{ data.
variation.variation_description }}}
* I need the variation stock quantity but I cant seem to figure out what to use
for it.
* I was thinking:
{{{ data.variation.
variable_stock}}}
* But the above displays nothing.
* I have searched google but only massive amounts of code come up which I really
do not want to use.
* Kind regards,
Robbert

* Hi Robbert,
* It doesn’t appear there is a way to get quantity via javascript, in core I only
see description, price, and availability.
* I think you’ll have to resort to good ol’ fashioned PHP to get the stock.

* Do you have any recommendations on how to do this? There are so many ways to
do it ranging from 2 lines of code to 30 so I do not know what is the best aproach
for this.
* Kind regards,
Robbert

* [@robbertcognito](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robbertcognito/) Try using
this:
* `{{{ data.variation.max_qty}}}`
* It is set here:
[https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/3.4.3/includes/class-wc-product-variable.php#L343](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/3.4.3/includes/class-wc-product-variable.php#L343)
* Which calls this:
[https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/3.4.3/includes/abstracts/abstract-wc-product.php#L1745-L1753](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/3.4.3/includes/abstracts/abstract-wc-product.php#L1745-L1753)
* As long as there’s a positive amount, you should get the quantity.

* I have tried it in different files but am unable to get any value out of it.
I checked if the files you mentioned exist and if the code you highlighted were
there and it was all there.
* Where do you suggest I put this code?

* I think I found the spot where to put it but it outputs nothing. It just gives
me an empty div 🙁
