0 treated as false about stalin.js HOT 5 CLOSED

var data = {
    value: "0"
};

var data = {
    value: [0]
};

Any of the above will work as you want it. Described behaviour is correct as non-array value in section {{# }} means conditional and zero in js is falsy value.

Actually this is an extremely stupid and unintuitive behavior. I dont need an array and i dont need a string. My data structure assumes numbers and i operate on numbers. Zero is a valid value for number. The fact that zero is coerced to false in JS is not an argument, because if i wanted false, i will use false, null or undefined explicitly. Why the fuck should i keep two different sets of same data - one for internal usage and one for template? What is the fucking point of having templates at all?

I know, mustache does the same, but again, i find this completely stupid and unusable in real situation.

You know where fork button is =))

// line
l=function($){return t.call($)==='[object Array]'?$:$?[$]:[]}
// can be like this
l=function($){return t.call($)==='[object Array]'?$:$!==false?[$]:[]}
// or that
l=function($){return t.call($)==='[object Array]'?$:($ || $===0)?[$]:[]}
