handlerbars.js check if list is empty

Is there a way in Handlebars.js templating to check if the collection or list is null or empty, before going and iterating through the list/collection?

// if list is empty do some rendering ... otherwise do the normal
{{#list items}}

{{/list}}



{{#each items}}

{{/each}}

If you have something that you want to display once and only if the array has data, use

{{#if items.length}}
    //Render
{{/if}}

.length will return 0 for empty arrays so we have achieved a real falsey value.

The "each" tag can take an "else" section too. So the simplest form is:

{{#each items}}
// render item
{{else}}
// render empty
{{/each}}

Ok it's simpler than I thought:

{{#if items}}
// render items

{{#each items}}
// render item
{{/each}}

{{else}}
// render empty
{{/if}}
