Helper References

Helper reference syntax in Squirrelly

In Squirrelly, a reference is a single value that's passed in as an option to the template. There are two types of references, global references and helper references.

A helper reference is a reference that points to data created by a helper. For example, when looping through an object using the foreach helper

Basic syntax

<p>This is a helper reference: {{@stuff}}</p>

Prefix a helper reference with @.

Helper references are always in the scope of its parent helper.

Scoping

After the @, place one ../ for each level of helper you want to go back. If you specified an id when you created the helper:

{{helper(params) someid}}
{{/helper}}

Then you can reference that helper like this: {{@someid:helperref}}
