Whitespace in handlebars expressions

Tom Santiago
Updated

Beware of whitespace lurking at the beginning of an expression. Whitespace placed before any symbol inside the handlebars will cause an error.

Correct:

{{expression}}{{dateFormat}}

Incorrect:

 {{ expression}}{{ dateFormat}} // note the leading whitespace

Error:

 {{expression {{field}} // second set of opening braces seen as new expression

    Suggestion: rename this article to "Whitespace in Handlebar Expressions" or something. I thought this was how to deal with data whitespace with handlebars (i.e., trimming string variables of whitespace)
