[SOLVED] Passing through variable into partial and using an #is helper

Passing through variable into partial and using an #is helper - Handlebars

I'm trying to pass a variable (tag name) into a Handlebars partial and use an #is block helper on the tag but for some reason it just won't play ball. This is my code:

Call to my partial and passing through the tag name.

{{> nav tagged='page' }}

In the partial itself I do the following (tagged is the variable name passed through):

{{#each tags}}
  {{#is tag tagged}}
    {{#each pages}}
       // Do code here
    {{/each}}
  {{/is}}
{{/each}}

If I just render the tagged variable it displays the variable value as expected so a bit confused as to why its not working.

Thanks.

Solution

The issue you have is that the tagged variable is in the parent context but you're trying to reference it within the #each tags loop.

You can reference the parent context with ../ so the working code would be

{{#each tags}}
  {{#is tag ../tagged}}
    {{#each pages}}
       // Do code here
    {{/each}}
  {{/is}}
{{/each}}
