#each block ignored

[GeeWizWow]

Hi

I'm having an issue with the each block being ignored at render

as per the example here: http://handlebarsjs.com/builtin_helpers.html

res.render('home',{
            helpers: {
                people: [
                    "Yehuda Katz",
                    "Alan Johnson",
                    "Charles Jolley"
                ]
            }
        });

<ul>
<li>Test</li>
{{#each people}}
    <li>{{this}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>

Renders this:

<ul>
<li>Test</li>
</ul>

Using express-handlebars@2.0.1

Thanks for your time

you should either do {{#each helpers.people}} or move the people property outside the helpers object.

This drove me almost INSANE trying to resolve, I spent too much time looking into handlebars documentation to then come back and find this issue.

You should be having anything defined in 'helpers' bubble upwards automatically as this is not how handlebars normally works.
