I'm trying to render every array value inside model object. I can manage to render first value of the array but can't render rest of them. I've tried work it inside each function but doesn't work. I need to view all the array values in each row. Please inspect the examples and you will see quickly:
Here is working sample which renders only first value of the array: http://jsfiddle.net/N2b5M/1123/
template:
{{#users}}
<tr>
<td>{{fullName person}}</td>
<td>{{jobTitle}}</td>
<td><a href="https://twitter.com/{{twitter}}">@{{twitter}}</a></td>
<td>{{currentDate}}</td>
</tr>
{{/users}}
data:
var data = {
users: [ {
person: {
firstName: "Garry",
lastName: "Finch",
tags: [
{
"type": "P",
"date": "10.9.2014"
},
{
"type": "C",
"date": "18.12.2014"
},
{
"type": "T",
"date": "2.10.2014"
}
]
},
jobTitle: "Front End Technical Lead",
twitter: "gazraa"
}, {
person: {
firstName: "Garry",
lastName: "Finch",
tags: [
{
"type": "T",
"date": "2.11.2014"
}
]
},
jobTitle: "Photographer",
twitter: "photobasics"
}, {
person: {
firstName: "Garry",
lastName: "Finch",
tags: [
{
"type": "T",
"date": "11.12.2014"
}
]
},
jobTitle: "LEGO Geek",
twitter: "minifigures"
} ]
};
javascript:
var source = $("#some-template").html();
var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
Handlebars.registerHelper('fullName', function(person) {
return person.firstName + " " + person.lastName;
});
Handlebars.registerHelper('currentDate', function(context) {
var currentTag = this.person.tags[0];
var currentDate = currentTag.date;
return currentDate;
});
$('body').append(template(data));
I'm trying to render all the dates inside tags array and tried like this:
{{#each person.tags}}
<td>{{currentDate}}</td>
{{/each}}
Handlebars.registerHelper('each', function(context, options) {
var tagsTotal = context.person.tags.length;
var ret = '';
console.log(tagsTotal);
for( i = 0; i < tagsTotal; i++) {
var tagType = context.type;
ret += options.fn(context[i]);
}
return ret;
});
I am not sure if this is ugly or if there is a better way of doing this. but this works:
