Allow assign helper to be called multiple times

Open iliekturtles opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

The assign helper clones the ctx parameter, assigns the value, and sets the result to the render context. Calling assign multiple times leaves the render context only containing the last assignment call.

https://github.com/davidB/handlebars_misc_helpers/blob/0e60d86cc5ed905bb65987734bb72f360861365a/src/assign_helpers.rs#L38-L43

  • Should the original context be changed before assigning to the render context? This would allow for multiple assignments.
  • Is this actually desired behavior and the fix should be updated documentation? e.g. if calling assign multiple times is desired, a new complex object that maintains past values should be created.

Issue opened based on feedback in https://github.com/SuperCuber/dotter/issues/134.
