Iterating over basic “for” loop using Handlebars.js

Question

I’m new to Handlebars.js and just started using it. Most of the examples are based on iterating over an object. I wanted to know how to use handlebars in basic for loop.

Answer 1

Top answer here is good, if you want to use last / first / index though you could use the following

Handlebars.registerHelper('times', function(n, block) {
    var accum = '';
    for(var i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
        block.data.index = i;
        block.data.first = i === 0;
        block.data.last = i === (n - 1);
        accum += block.fn(this);
    }
    return accum;
});

and

{{#times 10}}
     {{@first}} {{@index}} {{@last}}
{{/times}}
