Handlebarsjs check if a string is equal to a value

Question

Is it possible in Handlebars to check if a string is equal to another value without registering a helper? I can\'t seem to find anything relevant to this in the Handlebars r

Answer 1

I would just use helpers like this:

Handlebars.registerHelper('ifeq', function (a, b, options) {
    if (a == b) { return options.fn(this); }
    return options.inverse(this);
});

Handlebars.registerHelper('ifnoteq', function (a, b, options) {
    if (a != b) { return options.fn(this); }
    return options.inverse(this);
});

Then in your code:

{{#ifeq variable "string"}} 
    ... do this ... 
{{/ifeq}}
{{#ifnoteq variable "string"}} 
    ... do this ... 
{{/ifnoteq}}
