hapi-handlebars-boilerplate

Easily customisable template for a Node server using hapi with handlebars.js templating.

Basic Setup Instructions

Where Stuff Is:
The server already has a home route and a resource handler.
The default HTML for all pages is specified in views/layout/default.html and includes the navbar and footer which are in views/partials.
Minimal CSS, an empty script.js file, and a folder for assets are in public.
A test file with three passing tests is in tests
To add new routes to the server:
Make a new js file in the routes folder, e.g. blog.js. This should be in the same form as the home.js and resources.js files, i.e. an exported object including a method, path, and handler function:

module.exports = {
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/blog',
  handler: (request, reply) => {
    reply.view('blog');
  }
};

Add the new route to ther server by adding its file path to the list of routes at line 26, e.g.

server.route([
  './routes/home.js',
  './routes/resources.js',
  './routes/blog.js'
].map((route) => require(route)));

If your route is a new view, you can add the HTML for that page in the views folder, e.g. for our blog page, we would make a file called blog.html.
Hapi has lots of helpful plugins for other things you might want, like authentication and validation. Check out their list here.
