handlebars - is it possible to access parent context in a partial?

Question

I\'ve got a handlebar template that loads a partial for a sub-element.

I would need to access a variable from the parent context in the calling template, from within

Answer 1

As of 2.0.0 partials now supports passing in values.

{{#each items}}
    {{> item-template some_parent_var=../some_parent_var}}
{{/each}}

Took me awhile to find this, hope it's useful for someone else too!
