Using Handlebars templates

This sample shows the use of a separate template language, Handlebars, in an Origami site.

Origami itself is a a powerful template language, but if you're more comfortable with a different template language, it's possible to write a custom file handler so that Origami knows how to invoke templates in that language. This sample does that using an Origami extension that defines a handler for Handlebars templates.

Structure of the site

The site.ori file orchestrates the construction of the site:

• Trek descriptions in the src/descriptions folder include markdown with YAML front matter.
• The complete set of trek descriptions is used to generate the site's Treks area: one page for each trek, as well as an area home page showing the complete list.
• A subset of trek descriptions are fed to the index.hbs template so that it can show those as featured treks.
• The site's Gallery page wants to show all of the images in the src/assets/images/trips folder. The site.ori file gets the list of images in that folder, then hands it to a template to generate the Gallery page.

The site's visual style is based on the Dolomia WordPress Theme but completely rewritten to use more contemporary CSS.
