Is there a ternary operator in handlebars.js?

Question

In Handlebars, is there a ternary operator? I don\'t mean if else; I mean like a == true ? \"a\" : \"b\".

Answer 1

The if helper can be used as a ternary operator by passing three arguments to it.

In the following example, a button has a default value of "Save Changes", but when model.isSaving is true, then the value temporarily changes to Saving....

{{if model.isSaving "Saving..." "Save Changes"}}

...alternatively, used within another helper:

{{input type="submit" value=(if model.isSaving "Saving..." "Save Changes")}}
