@Component
public class LastInSequenceHandlebarsHelper
extends BaseHelper

The {{lastInSequence}} handlebars helper is used to target the currently publishing content item when it's the last content item in a group of content items in the section using the same content type.

In general this helper is used as a block level helper, but if used as an inline expression, it returns true for the last content item within a group of the current type and false for others.

If there is no currently publishing content item, this helper returns false.

By default, this helper considers a single content element as a "sequence". If you only want to match in cases where this is the last of a number of content items using the same content type, the match-single attribute should be used.

Usage

  {{#firstInSequence}}
   <ul>
  {{/firstInSequence}}
    <li>{{publish element="Name"}}</li>
  {{#lastInSequence}}
   </ul>
  {{/lastInSequence}}
 

In the above example, an opening ul is output for the first content item in a sequence of content items in the section that all use the content type of the currently publishing content item and a closing ul is output for the last one. This allows for sequences of content items of the same type to be wrapped with specific code, in this case an unordered list.

Attributes

The lastInSequence handlebars helper can take a single attribute.

• match-single - Whether or not the helper should match a single content item. If not set, this defaults to true
