A list of all Squirrelly's built-in native helpers..

Display this
{{#else}}
Display this
{{/if}}

each

each loops over an array.

{{each(options.somearray)}}
Display this

The current index is {{@index}}
{{/each}}

Helper References:

• this: the current array element

• index: the index of the array element

foreach

foreach loops over an object

{{foreach(options.someobject)}}
This loops over each of an object's keys and values.
The value of the current child is {{@this}}
The current key is {{@key}}
{{/foreach}}

Helper References:

• this: the value of the current object child

• key: the key of the current child

log

{{log("The value of options.arr is: " + options.arr)/}}

The log helper is a self-closing, native helper. It's turned into this code:

console.log("The value of options.arr is: " + options.arr);

The log helper can be extremely helpful for debugging.

tags

{{tags(--,--)/}}
--somevalue--

Setting custom tags can be really helpful when writing in a language such as LaTek.

js

{{js(options.newvalue = options.oldvalue + 983 * 2)/}}
{{newvalue}}
