Blog Web Dev Reference a Variable Outside of a Handlebars Each Loop

Reference a Variable Outside of a Handlebars Each Loop

By Forrest Smith - Drempd.com

Once within an Handlebars each loop, you can no longer just reference a variable that is outside the loop.  In the example below, the first ‘ParentVariable’ will render correctly, but the one within the “each” loop won’t. 

{{ParentVariable}}
{{#each Users}}
     {{ParentVariable}}
{{/each}}

To use the variable within the “each” block, you’ll need to add a “../” before the variable to reference it:

{{ParentVariable}}
{{#each Users}}
     {{../ParentVariable}}
{{/each}}

I love to create and explore. Whether building a website or app, taking a long walk through the mountains, or playing with a random idea, I've found that there will never be enough time to experience it all. But that won't stop me from trying.
