Gulp Static Handlebars

⚠ Warning This library is deprecated. The underlying libraries that this package relies on are either unmaintained or have security warnings. I'm deprecating this project until someone rewrites it with modern tooling.

Reads data, partials and helpers from asynchronous sources like a databases, file systems, or promises.

Example with any A+ compatible promises library:

function getData() {
    return Promise.resolve({contents: 'whatever'});
}

function getHelpers() {
    return Promise.resolve({menu: function(options) { return 'menu!'; }});
}

function getPartials() {
    return Promise.resolve({header: '<header></header>', footer: '<footer></footer>'});
}

gulp.src('./app/index.hbs')
      .pipe(handlebars(getData(), {helpers: getHelpers(), partials: getPartials()}))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));

Another example with vinyl pipes

gulp.src('./app/index.hbs')
      .pipe(handlebars({contents:"whatever"}, {
        helpers: gulp.src('./app/helpers/**/*.js'),
        partials: gulp.src('./app/partials/**/*.hbs')
      }))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));

Get/Set Handlebars Instance

var MyHandlebars = handlebars.instance() // get Handlebars
handlebars.instance(MyHandlebars) // use another Handlebars instance

Install

npm install gulp-static-handlebars

Running Tests

To run the basic tests, just run mocha normally.

This assumes you've already installed the local npm packages with npm install.

To Do:

• Support more handlebars options
