How to set selected select option in Handlebars template

Answer 1

Another one solution using express-handlebars and dynamic options is this.

Helper function (From all options takes the one we want and change it to selected).

select: function(selected, options) {
    return options.fn(this)
      .replace( new RegExp(' value=\"' + selected + '\"'), '$& selected="selected"')
      .replace( new RegExp('>' + selected + ''), ' selected="selected"$&');
  }

handlebars file (I just use #each inside select to receive me data and worked like a charm).
