Hi @mattcoy-arcticleaf, we can't support array there since it might have breaking compatibilities with other helpers, but we can create a new one to support array type. Also Pull Requests are always welcome!
Hi @jairo-bc , thanks for the quick reply here!
It looks like the reverse helper as it is implemented in the handlebars-helpers library has compatibility for strings in addition to arrays now, and the code for strings is identical. I don't think anything would break by updating the one in paper-handlebars to match.
I would add a pull request to make this update, but I'm not sure where it belongs, since currently "reverse" lives under strings, but it should be moved somewhere else now?
It's possible someone may be relying (knowingly or unknowingly) on reverse
returning undefined
when the argument value is an array. Returning a reversed array could cause issues in that case.
The safest approach would be to add a new helper (which is what handlebars-helpers seems to have done, albeit with the same name - string reverse still exists, and I believe array reverse was added later).
on the Handlebars helpers reference, reverse is listed as “reverses a string”, but if you click on it, it takes you here, which says you can reverse a string or an array. However, in Stencil, it does not appear to reverse an array. Can the helper be updated to reverse an array as well, as documented?
