Hello,

As was advised by @jan_blaha I consider switching back to Handlebars. I am just discovering the jsreport product and Handlebars looks very annoying to work with. jsrender seemed more friendly. Maybe I did not understand the basics, this is why I am asking here. Here are the reasons of my initial switch from Handlbars to jsrender:

1. jsrender lets you do the tests directly inside the report like so : {{if someValue >= 2}}print this{{else}}print that{{/if}}. It seems that Handlebars requires to write a function for every single test. Did I miss something?
2. it seems that jsrender lets you declare "variables" that you can use throughout the templates (with {{* someVar = 2}} ). Does Handlebars provide such a feature?
3. I like jsrender's itemVar feature that lets you define an alias rather than using the clumsy ../../../field. This is just comfort and readability so I can live without it.

Thanks for you inputs.

Thanks for the quick answer. I will consider going back to Handlebars but the fact that you have to write a function for every single test is really annoying (rather than directly doing something like {{if field>=2}}...{{/if}}). I will create a new thread on the question.

Hello,
How do you pass extra attributes to components using jsrender ?
I have tried this but I get "Unmatched or missing {{/prepareData}}, in template:"

{{:~prepareData(@root.name)}}
  {{:~component("./compo")}}
{{/prepareData}}

My prepareData function is declared like this:

function prepareData(someAttribute, options) {   
    return options.fn({
        ...this,
        someAttribute
    })
}

Thanks !
