Mustache.js: Iterate over a list received via json [duplicate]

Question

Mustache JS Template with JSON Collection

I have a json response like this that I want to use with Mustache.js:

[
    {"id": "1", "details": {"name": "X", "type":"Y" }},
    {"id": "2", "details": {"name": "aName", "type":"something" }}
]

How do I iterate over this using mustache.js?

Answer 1

The array itself should be a value in a bigger Object, like so:

var obj = {
  arr: [
    {"id": "1", "details": {"name": "X", "type":"Y" }},
    {"id": "2", "details": {"name": "aName", "type":"something" }}
  ]
}

Then you can do:

{{#arr}}
   my id: {{id}}
{{/arr}}

the use for {{#bla}} is actually overloaded. When the property it acts upon is an array it will loop. When the property is an object itself it will 'enter' that object. Given your example:

{{#arr}}
   my id: {{id}} <br/>
   {{#details}}
     and my name: {{name}}
   {{/details}}
{{/arr}}

Answer 2

I found another way of doing this which is pretty similar to Geert-Jan except that you do not have to assign the array to a Javascript object.

{{ #. }}
   <p> {{ id }} </p>
   <ul> {{#details}}
        {{name }}
        {{ type }}
   {{/details}}
   </ul>
{{ /. }}
