Getting started with handlebars

I'm hacking around Handlebars for the first time; my goal is to display a list of items in the html.

This is the script inside the html:

<div>
  <script id="list-items" type="text/x-handlebars-template">​
    {{#each list}} {{ price }} {{/each}}
  </script>
</div>

This is the js file:

var list = [
          {
            name: 'Almond Toe Court Shoes, PatentBlack',
            category: 'Women\'s footwear',
            price: 42,
            quantity: 5
          },
          {
            name: 'Bla bla bla',
            category: 'Women\'s footwear',
            price: 66,
            quantity: 5
          }
        ];


    var theTemplateScript = $("#list-items").html();
    
    


    var theTemplate = Handlebars.compile (theTemplateScript);

    
    

    $(document.body).append (theTemplate (list));

My code doesn't work and I see no errors in the console. What am I doing wrong?

Your template iterates over a list attribute but you pass the raw array.

To reconcile your template and the data you pass, either pass an object with a list attribute :

$(document.body).append (theTemplate ({
    list: list
}));

or modify your template to iterate over an array:

<script id="list-items" type="text/x-handlebars-template">​
    {{#each .}} {{ price }} {{/each}}
</script>
