Question

I’m trying to copy as much as I can from the documentation, though I’m working with handlebars.js in a rails app with backbone.

I have a collection taken right from the handlebars examples.

var list = { people: [
    {name: "Alan"}, 
    {name: "Allison"}, 
    {name: "Ryan"}
  ], group: "Bloggers" };

I pass this collection to handlebars as

    if(list.people.length >0){
            var showList = HandlebarsTemplates['htmlList'](list);
            console.log(showList);
        $('div#holdList').html(showList);
        }

    },

in my hbr file, I have

<ul>
this gets output
    {{#each list.people}}
    this doesn't, but should. <br/gt;

    {{/each}}
</ul>

My output shows the ‘this gets output’, but I can’t get handlebars to enter the loop and show ‘this doesn’t but should.’

what am I doing wrong??

Answer 1

You should iterate over people and not list.people in your template.
