Handlebars : What is the best way to pass multiple parameters to a registerHelper function?

Nope. As per their document you can do this in many ways. I would do this way.

{{getOutputByParameters param1 param2}}

Handlebars.registerHelper('getOutputByParameters', function(param1, param2){ 
//do your stuff here.
})

    I am using Handlebars to render data in a table.

    One of the data items needs processing, which takes a few parameters into account in order to provide outcome.

    The templated text example :

    {{getOutputByParameters param1=DataFieldName1 param2=DataFieldName2}}
    

    And corresponding registerHelper would be written as:

    var __this = this;
    Handlebars.registerHelper('getOutputByParameters', function(params){ __this.getOutputByParameters(params.hash.param1, params.hash.param2)})
    

    I figured that handlebars would pass an array of these parameters, which I can access using hash property.

    But is that the only best way?
