Passing context to a Handlebars partial

Question

I wish to pass the parent templates context to a handlebars partial.

I register my partial in app.js with the following

Handlebars.registerPartial("lifestyles", Handlebars.templates['partials/product-lifestyles']());

I then render my partial inside my main template file like the following, passing in this as a second parameters of which I understand it should pass in the context of the parent

{>lifestyles this}}

I have a log helper which console logs a parameter, inside my partial I log out this, it returns undefined.

{{log this}}

Evidentially my context isn't being passed into my partial.

My understanding is that Handlebars supports this functionality, so what could be the reason it is not functioning?

Answer 1

STHayden is right, You need two opening braces when you call a partial

{{>lifestyles this}}

This is an example of using partial templates
