Class RepeatHelper

java.lang.Object

org.trimou.engine.config.AbstractConfigurationAware

org.trimou.handlebars.AbstractHelper

org.trimou.handlebars.BasicHelper

org.trimou.handlebars.BasicSectionHelper

org.trimou.handlebars.RepeatHelper

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConfigurationAware, Helper

public class RepeatHelper
extends BasicSectionHelper

Allows to repeat the section multiple times:

 {{#repeat times=3}}
   Hello three times!
 {{/repeat}}
 

Or until the while expression evaluates to a "falsy" value:

 {{#with items.iterator}}
   {{#repeat while=hasNext}}
    {{next}}
   {{/repeat}}
 {{/with}}
 

An interesting use case might be using ListIterator to iterate over the list in reverse order:

 {{#invoke items.size on=items m="listIterator"}}
   {{#repeat while=hasPrevious}}
      {{previous}}
   {{/repeat}}
 {{/invoke}}
