Templates with multiple #each

[dr42]

If I have two lists I want to iterate over, going from:

"templates": {
                "body": {
                    "sections": {
                        "{{#each $jason.posts}}": [{ ...

to having multiple

"templates": {
                "body": {
                    "sections": {
                        "{{#each $jason.users}}": [{ ...
                        "{{#each $jason.posts}}": [{ ...

Is this possible or is it only allowed by combining the lists and adding a type element so a single loop iterates with a conditional?

Thanks!

I guess you can process multiple arrays since they are json objects. It simply reads objects, one #each at a time.
Or do you want to #each posts children of users?
Do you have an example?

I gave an example in my original post. Let's say you have data that has two arrays of dictionaries, I want to iterate over each, each going into its own section, or failing that as in the example above. When I add a second #each nothing gets rendered, removing either one works fine.

The scenario sounds like the perfect use case for why we have sections, so it should work. I can't see the entire code so can't really tell, but just based on the couple of lines I see above, those wouldn't render if it actually looks like that.

sections take an array of objects, each of which is a section, which in turn contains items array.

Also the #each clause should have a single template object as its value, instead of an array.

So it should look something like:

"templates": {
  "body": {
    "sections": [{
      "{{#each $jason.users}}": { ... }
    }, {
      "{{#each $jason.posts}}": { ... }
    }]
  }
}

thanks, between this and nested #each I think I can do most of things I need in the template engine.
