Nested loops
Explains how to use nested loops in Mustache templates, providing a comparison with pseudo-code to enhance understanding.
With the aforementioned information in mind, you can use the following merge field template for nested loops:
{{#Items|GroupBy(A,B,C)}}
{{Cmd_Assign(ItemsWithSameA,_Group)}}
{{#ItemsWithSameA}}
{{Cmd_Assign(ItemsWithSameB,_Group)}}
{{#ItemsWithSameB}}
{{Cmd_Assign(ItemsWithSameC,_Group)}}
{{#ItemsWithSameC}}
{{A}} - {{B}}
{{/ItemsWithSameC}}
{{/ItemsWithSameB}}
{{/ItemsWithSameA}}
{{/Items|GroupBy(A,B,C)}}If you are not familiar with the Mustache template yet, see the following pseudo-code that explains what it does.
GroupedItems=Items.GroupBy(A,B,C)for{A,_Group}inGroupedItems{// {A,_Group} is a deconstructed objectItemsWithSameA = _Group
for {B,_Group} in ItemsWithSameA {// B and _Group are key names.ItemsWithSameB = _Group
for {C,_Group} in ItemsWithSameB {
ItemsWithSameC = _Group
for item in ItemsWithSameC {// item is in shape of the original.print(item.A)
print(" - ")
print(item.B)
}
}
}
}The following table lists the line-by-line comparison between the Mustache merge field example and its corresponding pseudo-code to help you understand how the nested loops work.
