handlebars and if else

I have a view of the handlebars, I want to be in it was checking whether a variable IF js == 'foo' 

<div class="title"><label for="inputSearch">{{#if variable == 'foo'}} AAA {{else}} BB {{/if}}</label></div>
  <ul class="top-buttons">
    <li class="back"><a href="#" id="priev_es">Wstecz</a></li>
    <li class="more"></li>
  </ul>
</div>

But I have this error in the console:

handlebars.js:286Error: Parse error on line 2:
{{#if variable == 'foo'}} AAA {{else
----------------^
Expecting 'DATA', 'STRING', 'INTEGER', 'BOOLEAN', 'ID', got 'EQUALS'

you have got to send in arguments to the annonymous function that you have bound to the name 'language' and then compare those 2 args and return true or false. According to the returned value use if else in handlebars

Handlebars has no in-built syntax for performing equality checks.

You have to put that sort of logic in your JavaScript, not your template.

You can express it as a helper that you can call from your template though.
