Say I have a template with a template inclusion
<template name="Profile_Page">
{{> Text_Form_Control value=helper_function}}
</template>
I want to return an array from my helper function and access specific indexes depending on when the helper function is called. However, I cannot simply type helper_function[0] to access the 1st slot in the array. How would one normally access the index of an array if it is passed back from a helper function?
Ideally if a helper returns an array you want spacebars to iterate over it with an {{#each foo}}
or {{#Each bar in foo}}
Otherwise if you want your helper to return different single pieces of data, pass in an argument:
Template.myTemplate.helpers({
myHelper(index) {
var myArray = ['foo', 'bar'];
return myArray[index];
}
});
Template:
<template name="Profile_Page">
{{> Text_Form_Control value=(helper_function 0)}}
</template>
