javascript - options.data has multiple index elements in handlebars helper -

i have handlebars template structured this:

{{#each array}}     stuff     {{#each array2}}         more stuff         {{#customhelper}}{{/customhelper}}     {{/each}} {{/each}} 

each array contains 4 items.

the handlebars helper looks this:

handlebars.registerhelper('customhelper', function(options){     console.log(options.data); }); 

options.data contains number of times (index) it's been through #each. if there multiple #each's returns innermost one. however, want index of outermost #each.

logging options.data gives:

object {index: 0, index: 0} object {index: 1, index: 0} object {index: 2, index: 0} object {index: 3, index: 0} object {index: 0, index: 1} object {index: 1, index: 1} object {index: 2, index: 1} object {index: 3, index: 1} object {index: 0, index: 2} object {index: 1, index: 2} object {index: 2, index: 2} object {index: 3, index: 2} object {index: 0, index: 3} object {index: 1, index: 3} object {index: 2, index: 3} object {index: 3, index: 3} 

this shows both indexes there. first index innermost #each , second 1 outermost one. far i'm aware, shouldn't possible have 2 identical keys in javascript object.

logging options.data.index gives first index, not second one.

is possible access second index, , if so, how?

i figured out. deleting index:

delete options.data.index; 

will delete first one, now

options.data.index 

will return index of outer #each
