Handlebars.default results in errors in IE8

[parris]

Basically you need to use Handlebars['default'] to be safe not to break every browser.

defaultis a reserved word in JS. It might be a) either worth mentioning in the docs or b) worth renaming.

Where are you seeing this?

I have this issue too. I'm using browserify with hbsfy to compile my hbs templates. The resulting source generates the something.default, which leads to an error. It happens when you pre-compile the templates.

@kpdecker if you want I can setup an example?

I see this whenever I use the dot notation to access default. Using square
brackets works fine. If a compiler transforms brackets to dot notation
you'd also see this problem.

Specifically if I attempt to create a helper.

@parris if you're using Gulp.js, I use gulp-replace with this to fix it:

.pipe(replace(".default.", "['default']."))

[kpdecker]

Yes, default is a reserved word in some of the older environments. I've added a FAQ entry regarding this.

For the hbsfy specific issue, you'll need to raise that with that specific project.
