Handlebar #if construct issue

Matteo Agostoni

I'm using handlebar engine and I need to conditionally hide or show a part of the report based on a data value;

this is a piece of my JSON data
{
"settings": {
"condettaglioprezzi": "true"
},
"offerta": {
"codice": "2017-00007",
"data": "",
"oggetto": ""
},..........

then in my report template I inserted

<div class="col-xs-1 text-right" style="width: 12%">{{#if settings.condettaglioprezzi }}€ {{offerta.codice}} {{/if}}</div>

but it does not show the € {{offerta.codice}}

Please help me.

Your problem is rather related to handlebars than jsreport, so you should search elsewhere.

My guess that you need to pass bool true instead of string "true". If you need to evaluate string or complex based condition, you should write your own custom if helper.

Handlebars documentation for the help.

Hi, checking on stackoverflow I got it

as my <div class="col-xs-1 text-right" style="width: 12%">{{#if settings.condettaglioprezzi }}€ {{offerta.codice}} {{/if}}</div> was inside a {{#each}} I had to use {{#if @root.settings.condettaglioprezzi }}

thanks
