Multi-dimensional arrays in Mandrill with handlebars - arrays

Question

I'm trying to loop through a multi-dimensional array to get properties of products that are part of line items. They look basically like this: (I did a json_encode so it would be easier to read)
[{

So I am trying to get a print out of each gift certificate's type and redemption number. When I iterate through {{ giftCertificates }} like this:
{{#each giftCertificates}}
{{type}} {{redemptionNumber}}
{{/each}}
I get one of the line items but not the other. I'm guessing maybe it is being overwritten when it loops through again? But I have also tried to loop through {{ item }} and grab {{ giftCertificates.type }} and {{ giftCertificates.redemptionNumber }} and that does not work either. What is the correct way to get all of these from each line item?
Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I know this is a very old question, but:
you can use {{this.proprietyName}} to get the type and number:
{{#each giftCertificates}}
{{this.892.type}}
{{/each}}
do not forget to add this to the mandrill message o
"merge": true,
"merge_language": "handlebars",
Also, the data structure is not ideal:
giftCertificates[
{
"id": "892",
"redemptionNumber": "xxxxxx",
"type": "Annual"
},
{
"id": "893",
"redemptionNumber": "xxxxxx",
"type": "Annual"
}
]
would be easier to handle.
