Handlebars Plugin for DocPad

Adds support for the Handlebars templating engine to DocPad

Convention: .(inlinejs|js|anything).(handlebars|hbs|hb)

Configuration

Getting helpers and partials to work

For the plugin to support helpers and partials, you'll have to add something like the following to your docpad configuration file manually:

# ... 
plugins:
    handlebars:
        helpers:
            # Expose docpads 'getBlock' function to handlebars 
            getBlock: (type, additional...) ->
                additional.pop() # remove the hash object 
                @getBlock(type).add(additional).toHTML()
        partials:
            title: '<h1>{{document.title}}</h1>'
            goUp: '<a href="#">Scroll up</a>'
# ... 

In your handlebars template you will need to use {{{content}}} to prevent handlebars from escaping any html content. You also cannot use helper functions as a parameter to {{#each collection}}, instead you should define a templateData variable and map the name to a @getCollection call e:g:

    sitePages: ->
      @getCollection("pages").toJSON()

Usage as precompiler

If the document extension is .(inlinejs|js).(handlebars|hbs|hb), the plugin will produce a precompiled template. In this case, you can customise the precompiled template via the following:

# ... 
plugins:
    handlebars:
        precompileOpts:
            wrapper: "default"
# ... 

Available values for the wrapper option are:

• "default": Produces a handlebars wrapper like:

  (function() {
      var template = Handlebars.template, templates = Handlebars.templates = Handlebars.templates || {};
      templates['theSlugOfTheFile'] = template(function (Handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {
          ...
      })
  })();

• "amd": Produces a AMD handlebars wrapper like:

  define(['handlebars'], function(Handlebars) {
      var template = Handlebars.template, templates = Handlebars.templates = Handlebars.templates || {};
      templates['theSlugOfTheFile'] = template(function (Handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {
          ...
      });
  });

• "none": Produces a basic wrapper like:

  function (Handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {
      ...
  }
