How to use this json in handlebars js - json

Question

Here is the full code.
HTML part:
<script id="company_template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{#each CDataMap}}
<div>{{this}}</div>
{{/each}}
<p></p>
</script>
JS part
var source = $("#company_template").html();
var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
var data= {
"CDataMap" : {
"name": "Jim Cowart",
"location": {
"city": {
"name": "Chattanooga",
"population": 167674
},
"state": {
"name": "Tennessee",
"abbreviation": "TN",
"population": 6403000
}
},
"company": "appendTo"
}
};
$("p").append(template(data));
I want to use this using handlebars js.
When am using it am getting object object display only.
I need the correct code.

Answer 1

The problem with your example is that CDataMap is not an array of objects, so you cannot iterate through them.
This is a valid example:
<script>
(function ($) {
$(function () {
var source = $("#company_template").html();
var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
var data = {
"CDataMap": [{
"name": "Jim Cowart",
"location": {
"city": {
"name": "Chattanooga",
"population": 167674
},
"state": {
"name": "Tennessee",
"abbreviation": "TN",
"population": 6403000
}
},
"company": "appendTo"
}]
};
$("p").append(template(data));
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
And also the p tag or any element you'll use to put the result in must be outside of the template, like this:
<script id="company_template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{#each CDataMap}}
<div>{{this.name}}</div>
<div>{{this.location.city.name}}</div>
{{/each}}
</script>
<p></p>

Answer 2

Handlebar each expects iterative elements. Data which you are supplying needs to be modified.
Below code works
<script id="company_template" type="text/x-handlebarstemplate">
{{#each CDataMap}}
<div>Name : {{this.name}} <br/>
Location: {{this.location.city.name}} <br />
Population: {{this.location.city.population}}
</div>
{{/each}}
</script>
<p></p>
JS side
var data= {
"CDataMap" : [
{
"name": "Jim Cowart",
"location": {
"city": {
"name": "New york",
"population": 494949494
}
}
},
]
};
var templateSource = $("#company_template").html();
template = Handlebars.compile(templateSource);
studentHTML = template(data);
$("p").append(studentHTML);
