Handlebars Helpers

Eq

Compares two values using strict equality

The eq helper compares two values and returns true when they are strictly equal.

This helper uses JavaScript strict equality (===), so both the value and the type must match.

# Uses

• Use with the if helper to render content when a value matches an expected value
• Use to compare strings, numbers, booleans, or other values without using comparison operators directly in a template

# Usage

Helper name : eq

eg. {{eq stub.data.customer.type "business"}}

# Examples

Example definition:

        {{#if (eq stub.data.customer.type "business")}}
  Business customer
{{else}}
  Consumer customer
{{/if}}

      

Action context:

Substituted definition

        Business customer

      

# Strict Equality

Because eq uses strict equality, values with different types do not match.

        {{#if (eq stub.data.customer.count "1")}}
  One customer
{{else}}
  Different customer count
{{/if}}

      

If stub.data.customer.count is the number 1, this does not match the string "1".
