title: Using Handlebars #each helper with no key in JSON
body: <p>I am using a PHP file to pull data from a database and return it as JSON. I want to then use the JSON data as the context for a Handlebars template. My problem is that I can't seem to get Handlebars' "{{#each}}" helper to work with the JSON being returned by the PHP file.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example of the JSON that is returned:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[
      {
          "id": "3",
          "type": "Abseiling",
          "title": "Abseiling Adventure",
          "location": "Glenrock State Conservation Area",
          "date": "2012-12-18 00:00:00",
          "length": "2 hours",
          "price": "50"
      },
      {
          "id": "1",
          "type": "Abseiling",
          "title": null,
          "location": "Glenrock State Conservation Area",
          "date": "2013-02-10 00:00:00",
          "length": "3 hours",
          "price": "70"
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is my Handlebars template:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{{#each}}
  &lt;p&gt;{{location}}&lt;/p&gt;
  {{/each}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{{#each}}
  &lt;p&gt;{{this.location}}&lt;/p&gt;
  {{/each}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My suspicion as to why this isn't working is that the #each helper cannot be run like I'm trying, but rather has to be called like so: {{#each something}}. If this is the case, is there any easy way to add a key to the JSON data so that it is in this form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>something: [
      {
          ...
      },
      {
          ...
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If my suspicion is wrong, how can I use the #each helper with the JSON I'm currently providing as the template context?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Found a solution for this problem, I simply had to change the template call from</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery(".events").html(Handlebars.templates['Events'](data));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery(".events").html(Handlebars.templates['Events']({events: data}));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which meant I could then use {{#each events}}.</p>
