How do I convert ejs to handlebars?

Question

I am trying to convert this ejs code to handlebars. I am taking a tutorial so it's giving me a bit of problems. I would be glad to get any help

<% if(typeof errors!= 'undefined') { %>
<%    errors.forEach(function(error){ %>
<p> <%= error.msg %></p>
<%    })        %>
<% } %>

This is my conversion:

{{#if typeof errors !== "undefined"}}
  {{#each error}}
    <p>{{error.msg}}</p>
  {{/each}}
{{/if}}

But I keep getting this error:

Error: Parse error on line 1:
{{#if typeof errors !== "undefined"}}

Also, I want to add this ejs partial file to my handlebars and this is what I did. I don't know how correct I am:

Ejs:
<%- include ('./partials/messages') %>

Handlebars:
{{> _messages}}

Your handlebars syntax doesn't look right, your conversion should be:

{{#if errors }}
  {{#each errors}}
    <p>{{ this.msg }}</p>
  {{/each}}
{{/if}}

{{#if errors }} checks if error is undefined or [] (https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/builtin-helpers.html#if)

Also, this is used to reference the element being iterated over (https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/builtin-helpers.html#each).
