How to Render Two Sets of Data in Handlebars Based on Matching Names

Rendering dynamic content is a crucial aspect of web development, especially when using template engines like Handlebars with Express.js. Often, developers face challenges when trying to display related data from different sets. One common scenario is merging data from two JSON objects based on matching keys. This guide will walk you through a practical example to help you easily render two sets of data in Handlebars on matching name values.

Understanding the Problem

Let's say you are building a webpage that displays weather information for different days. You have a JSON structure that contains two main objects:

calendar: this holds the dates and corresponding weather conditions.

weatherDetails: this provides additional details, such as image links associated with each weather condition.

Here's a simplified version of the JSON structure you are working with:

The challenge lies in pulling not just the weather condition (such as "sunny" or "cloudy") but also the corresponding image link from the weatherDetails object.

The Solution

To achieve this seamlessly, you can enhance your Express route to include the image link in the rendered data. Here’s how to do it:

1. Setup Your Express Route

First, ensure your Express route is correctly set up to handle requests for specific dates. Modify the existing route to also extract the image based on the weather condition.

Here’s an example of how to update your route:

2. Pass All Required Data

In the code above:

day: Holds the date string.

weather: Holds the weather condition.

weatherImage: Retrieves the corresponding image from the weatherDetails object using the weather condition.

This ensures that whenever you render the "day" view, it has all the necessary information it needs for display.

3. Update Your Handlebars Template

In your Handlebars template (e.g., day.handlebars), you can now display the date, weather condition, and image link easily:

This simple addition will make your data presentation much richer and provide users with a more engaging visual experience.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can efficiently render two sets of data in Handlebars based on matching names. This approach allows you to leverage the power of JSON objects and dynamically create content that enhances user experience on your webpage. Remember, the key takeaway is to ensure you're passing all necessary data into your render function for seamless integration of related information.

Feel free to experiment with your JSON structure and how you present data in Handlebars. The flexibility of Express.js and Handlebars allows you to create some truly dynamic and engaging web applications.
