Handlebars Plugin for DocPad

Adds support for the Handlebars templating engine to DocPad

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

Install

docpad install handlebars

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>'
# ...

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) {
 	...
 }
