Handlebars.js: How to set {{#each }} iterate value from helper

[Rubioli]

Usually for a {{#each}} block, we can set the value directly in it like: {{#each users}}:

users: [
    {name: 'foo'},
    {name: 'bar'}
]

What I need to do is do be able to set the {{#each}} iteration value from a helper.

I have tried with this helper:

Handlebars.registerHelper('myHelper', function () {
  return new Handlebars.SafeString('users');
});

## also tested with:
Handlebars.registerHelper('myHelper', function () {
  return 'users';
});

and in my view:

{{#each (myHelper)}} # and {{#each myHelper}}
  <p>{{name}}</p>
{{/each}}

But nothing get shown. Any help is much appreciated!

This might work:

{{#each (lookup . (myHelper))}}

But you also have to make sure that you are returning the name of your property from the helper. Currently, it's users in the helper and user in the object.
