How to find Array length inside the Handlebar templates?

Question

I have a Handlebars template which is rendered using a json object. In this json I am sending an array. Like this:

var json = {
               \"array\":[\"abc\"         


        

Answer 1

In this case you need to reference the parent variable of the each from within the each block:

{{#each array}}
    {{../array.length}}
{{/each}}

I think your variable being named "array" is probably conflating the issue as well. Let's assume some different JSON just to clarify:

var json = {
    "fruit":["apple","orange","banana"]
};

So then doing this:

    {{#each fruit}}
        
{{this}} {{@index}} {{../fruit.length}}
    {{/each}}

Would yield:

    
apple 0 3
    
orange 1 3
    
banana 2 3
