If you need to check if some value exists in a given string which contains values separated by comma - use the {{#contains}} helper.

Syntax:

```handlebars
{{#contains valueToCheck valueToSearch}}
   // if the valueToCheck exists inside the valueToSearch
{{/contains}}
```

Examples:

```handlebars
{{#contains 'abc' 'abc,def'}}
abc,def contains abc
{{/contains}}

```

```handlebars
{{#contains 1 'a,1,2,d,e,f'}}
a,1,2,d,e,f contains 1
{{/contains}}
```

As you can see above - it also supports numbers, so if your string contains numbers you haven't to cast your first argument to string.

Examples output:

```handlebars
abc,def contains abc
```

```handlebars
a,1,2,d,e,f contains 1
```
