{{get}} helper with dynamic key not working

1

In a component I have the following property:

values: {
  4: {
    'value': 5,
    'unit': 'km/h'
  },
  8: {
    'value': 7,
    'unit': 'db'
  }
},
indexes: [4, 8]

In it’s template, I need to dynamically access this property. Until I updated my app to 2.4 the following has worked:

{{#each indexes as |index delta|}}
  index: {{index}}<br />
  value: {{get (get values index) "value"}}<br />
{{/each}}

Now the result is just:

index: 4
value: 
index: 8
value:

However, if I replace the dynamic index part with a static index, it works:

{{#each indexes as |index delta|}}
  index: {{index}}<br />
  value: {{get (get values "8") "value"}}<br />
{{/each}}


index: 4
value: 7
index: 8
value: 7

There’s no error in JS console.

Any idea what’s going wrong here?

The issue is that the get helper only allows string keys (see here). I’m not sure exactly why that restriction was added, but this seems like a bug to me. See demo twiddle.

I created `get` keyword does not allow numeric keys to be used · Issue #13296 · emberjs/ember.js · GitHub to track this issue.

You’re right, @rwjblue. Thank you! Will have to use a custom helper until this is fixed.
