The documents above are from MongoDB. I wondering how could I send this to Spacebards with just single helper, so the outcome would be pretty like this:

<table>
{{#each player_collection}}}
<tr><td>{{player_name}}</td><td>{{#each games}} {{match_id}} {{/each}}</td></tr>
{{/each}}
</table>

I would do this when I wasn’t using an “outter #each”

<tr><td>{{player_collection.player_name}}</td><td>{{#each player_collection.games}} {{this.match_id}} {{/each}}</td>

But I can’t remember if you can use #each inside #each

You may want to make template for each game…then you can use #each game and match_id it will take the data from the outter template

<table>
{{#each player_collection}}}
<tr><td>{{player_name}}</td>{{> EachGameTemplate}}</tr>
{{/each}}
</table>

@a.com Thanks worked! Another thing I was wondering was how can I count where match_id = “m5beht7xLd3RvgRck” and push that to spacebars. Do I need to use JavaScript or can I some how use count(). ?

4

I’m not sure I follow.

are you looking for a count of the number of “matches” in that array of games?

5

Yes that is what I was looking for. However as Meteor is missing live aggregations etc. functions I started to create my own JavaScript functions to process my data at client-side, and it seems to be working like a charm

6

Yeah I would just store the array in a variable and do a .length on it. Use that as the count.
