Referencing handlebars variable in a loop

I am trying to build some dropdowns in Handlebars using a compiled template but it is not able to access my variable:

Handlebars:

{{#each options}}
<div class="control-group consumables-options">
    <div class="row-fluid">
        <div class="span2">
            {{select 'task_services_options' ../bond_service_request_quantities quantity}}
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
{{/each}}

JS:

var html = Handlebars.templates.service_request_consumable_options({
    bond_service_request_quantities: bond_quantities,
    options: opts
});

Where bond_quantities and opts are Arrays of Objects.

The select helper is from handlebars-form-helpers, but even in normal handlebars ({{../bond_service_request_quantities.0.text}}) I get an error.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of undefined

My answer is that I was using two different versions of Handlebars. The project has v2.0.0 but npm installed 3.0.3 for the grunt task which compiles the templates.

Your Handlebars template and javascript code look ok. From looking at the error message it looks like the variable "bond_quantities" is null.

This is an an example html file that I used to test your code. I've tried to simplify it as much as possible, adding the precompiled template directly to the page, hard coding the data.

<html>

<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/handlebars.js/2.0.0/handlebars.js"></script>
<script src="handlebars.form-helpers.min.js"></script>

<script>
    (function() {
  var template = Handlebars.template, templates = Handlebars.templates = Handlebars.templates || {};
templates['service_request_consumable_options'] = template({"1":function(depth0,helpers,partials,data,blockParams,depths) {

    depths = [];
    depths[1] = data.root;

    return "<div class=\"control-group consumables-options\">\n    <div class=\"row-fluid\">\n        <div class=\"span2\">\n            "
    + this.escapeExpression((helpers.select || (depth0 && depth0.select) || helpers.helperMissing).call(depth0,"task_services_options",(depths[1] != null ? depths[1].bond_service_request_quantities : depths[1]),(depth0 != null ? depth0.quantity : depth0),{"name":"select","hash":{},"data":data}))
    + "\n        </div>\n    </div>\n</div>\n";
},"compiler":[6,">= 2.0.0-beta.1"],"main":function(depth0,helpers,partials,data,blockParams,depths) {
    var stack1;

  return ((stack1 = helpers.each.call(depth0,(depth0 != null ? depth0.options : depth0),{"name":"each","hash":{},"fn":this.program(1, data, 0, blockParams, depths),"inverse":this.noop,"data":data})) != null ? stack1 : "");
},"useData":true,"useDepths":true});
})();
</script>

<script>
    $(function() {
        HandlebarsFormHelpers.register(Handlebars);

        var bond_quantities = [ {
            value : 1,
            text : 'One'
        }, {
            value : 2,
            text : 'Two'
        } ];

        var opts = [ {
            quantity : 100
        }, {
            quantity : 200
        } ];

        var html = Handlebars.templates.service_request_consumable_options({
            bond_service_request_quantities: bond_quantities,
            options: opts
        });

        $('#target').html(html);
    });
</script>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="target"></div>
</body>

</html>
