Hi there,
can we use block helpers inside mutate blocks?
I am getting an invalid template error for such simple block:
You can use block helpers, but that format is not a valid {{#if}} helper. Instead, try …
{{#eq working.device.test null}}test is missing{{/eq}}
Interesting, when and where should I use the if block?
For example I want to use that in combination with a regex condition.
I think the Handlebars documentation explains it best.
As for matching on a regular expression, Losant has a custom block helper for that. From our documentation:
{{#match str regExpStr}}: Returns true if str matches the regular expression regExpStr.
Gosh I feel dumb, apparently you can also do:
{{#if (eq person "John")}} hello {{/if}}
I guess #eq is the shortened version of the #if (eq ) syntax.
Did you really get that to work? If so, where did you apply it? I wold not expect that syntax to work when trying to use a block helper as a subexpression.
This is a new world to me, apparently that syntax is only available with this:
which I discovered to be not the vanilla Handlebar solution!
Love the payload tester, useful!
