Mustache Conditions with functions

I want to check in Mustache if a value (not a boolean) is equal to a string. I saw in a random tutorial that you can use a function to define the condition but I haven't seen any documention on the syntax for that. Does anyone know how to do it?

The workaround is to simply create a wrapping condition variable that is evaluated outside of the mustache template, as you may already know.

var displaySection = false;
if(typeof input == 'string'){
    displaySection=true;
}

And then wrap whatever you want to do in a section tag {{#displaySection}}

As Theron said, Mustache is a logic-less templating library and cannot handle conditions (you should use javascript beforehand for that).

If you really want to handle conditional blocks in your templates you should check out http://handlebarsjs.com/.
