handlerbars.js check if list is empty

Question

Is there a way in Handlebars.js templating to check if the collection or list is null or empty, before going and iterating through the list/collection?

// if lis         


        

Answer 1

If you want to check if a collection (cursor) is empty or not, the previous answers won't be useful, instead you must use the count() method :

{{#if items.count}}
    
There is {{items.count}} item(s).
{{else}}
    
There is nothing
{{/if}}
