Handlebars custom if helper else is undefined

handlebars.js

Solution

Handlebars provides custom helpers an object containing the different functions to apply, `options.fn` and `options.inverse`. See https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/block-helpers.html#conditionals

Your helper could be written as

Handlebars.registerHelper('hasAccess', function(val, options) {
    var fnTrue = options.fn, 
        fnFalse = options.inverse;

    return val > 5 ? fnTrue(this) : fnFalse(this);
});

And a demo

Handlebars.registerHelper('hasAccess', function(val, options) { 
    var fnTrue = options.fn, 
        fnFalse = options.inverse;
        
    return val > 5 ? fnTrue() : fnFalse();
});

var template = Handlebars.compile($('#tpl').html() );
$("body").append( "<h1>access : 1</h1>" );
$("body").append( template({access:1}) );

$("body").append( "<h1>access : 6</h1>" );
$("body").append( template({access:6}) );

<script type='text/template' id='tpl'>
{{#hasAccess this.access}}
    You have access!
{{else}}
    You do not have access
{{/hasAccess}}
</script>

Problem

I have a custom helper, as follows: ``` Handlebars.registerHelper('hasAccess', function(val, fnTrue, fnFalse) { return val > 5 ? fnTrue() : fnFalse(); }); ``` and my template, as follows: ``` {{#hasAccess this.access}} You have access! {{else}} You do not have access {{/hasAccess}} ``` It works, except fnFalse is undefined. So, how am I supposed to render the 'else' branch?
