co-nested-hbs

Generator-based Handlebars templates for nested layouts.

koa-hbs is really great, but doesn't support nested layouts. Adding nested layouts to koa-hbs would unfortunately be a complete rewrite.

co-nested-hbs supports (nested) layouts, helpers, and partials.

Installation

``
$ npm install co-nested-hbs
`

Example

views/overall_layout.hbs






{{{body}}}



views/simple_theme.hbs

views/home.hbs

Welcome {{name}}!

`js
var r = require('rethinkdb');
var view = require('co-nested-hbs');

var html = await view.render('home', 'simple_theme', 'overall_layout', { title: 'Hello World!' });
`

html output would be:








Partials are automatically registered if their filename matches _*.hbs, directory is ignored.

`js
function *() {
var view = require('co-nested-hbs')('view_path/goes/here', {
layout: 'layout_file', // specify implied layout (or layouts) to be added to each render() call.
partialsPath: 'path_to_partials',
cache: true
});

// single template rendering
var html = yield view.render('template', {local: 'variable'});

// register helper
view.registerHelper('link-to', function(url, text) {
return "" + this.text + "";
});

// render the following templates in a chain, building the 'nest'
var html = yield view.render('first_render', 'second_render', 'third_render');

// locals can be applied to all templates when they are rendered
var html = yield view.render('first_render', 'second_render', 'third_render', {title: 'Hello World!'}, {global_local: 'applied to all templates'});
}
