{{extend}}

Extend the context with the properties of other objects. A shallow merge is performed to avoid mutating the context.

Params

  • objects {Object}: One or more objects to extend.
  • returns {Object}

{{forIn}}

Block helper that iterates over the properties of an object, exposing each key and value on the context.

Params

  • context {Object}
  • options {Object}
  • returns {String}

{{forOwn}}

Block helper that iterates over the own properties of an object, exposing each key and value on the context.

Params

  • obj {Object}: The object to iterate over.
  • options {Object}
  • returns {String}

{{toPath}}

Take arguments and, if they are string or number, convert them to a dot-delineated object property path.

Params

  • prop {String|Number}: The property segments to assemble (can be multiple).
  • returns {String}

{{get}}

Use property paths (a.b.c) to get a value or nested value from the context. Works as a regular helper or block helper.

Params

  • prop {String}: The property to get, optionally using dot notation for nested properties.
  • context {Object}: The context object
  • options {Object}: The handlebars options object, if used as a block helper.
  • returns {String}

{{getObject}}

Use property paths (a.b.c) to get an object from the context. Differs from the get helper in that this helper will return the actual object, including the given property key. Also, this helper does not work as a block helper.

Params

  • prop {String}: The property to get, optionally using dot notation for nested properties.
  • context {Object}: The context object
  • returns {String}

{{hasOwn}}

Return true if key is an own, enumerable property of the given context object.

Params

  • key {String}
  • context {Object}: The context object.
  • returns {Boolean}

Example

{{hasOwn context key}}

{{isObject}}

Return true if value is an object.

Params

  • value {String}
  • returns {Boolean}

Example

{{isObject "foo"}}
    //=> false

{{JSONparse}}

Parses the given string using JSON.parse.

Params

  • string {String}: The string to parse

Example


    {{JSONparse string}}

{{JSONstringify}}

Stringify an object using JSON.stringify.

Params

  • obj {Object}: Object to stringify
  • returns {String}

Example


    {{JSONstringify object}}

{{merge}}

Deeply merge the properties of the given objects with the context object.

Params

  • object {Object}: The target object. Pass an empty object to shallow clone.
  • objects {Object}
  • returns {Object}

{{pick}}

Pick properties from the context object.

Params

  • properties {Array|String}: One or more properties to pick.
  • context {Object}
  • options {Object}: Handlebars options object.
  • returns {Object}: Returns an object with the picked values. If used as a block helper, the values are passed as context to the inner block. If no values are found, the context is passed to the inverse block.
