Is it possible to assign a parameter value within handlebars templates without using helpers?

handlebars.js

Solution

You can do this with a partial.

partial:

<div class="{{classname}}">{{var1.author}}</div>

template:

{{#if author}}
{{> mypartial var1=. classname="classA"}}
{{else}}
{{> mypartial var1=. classname="classB"}}
{{/if}}

In this example I've passed the current scope as var1. I can't recall if the scope stays the same and the new variable is just added to it or if you have to pass the scope manually.

Problem

I am trying to assign values within a template, the idea is to do something like this: ``` {{#if author}} {{className = 'classA'}} <- trying to implement this line. {{else}} {{className = 'classB'}} {{/if}} <div class={{className}}></div> ``` Is it possible to do so without registerHelper?
