Unmodified Handlebars version 1.0.0, packaged for Meteor.
This package is essentially a stop-gap measure since Meteor’s templates don’t yet run on the server.
This version doesn't have the enhancements of Meteor's templates, but it does run on both the client and the server.
Thus it is useful if you’re looking for a template system to run on the server, and you like Handlebars.
1.0.0.2 (Handlebars version 1.0.0, this packaging release 2).
This package works with Meteor 0.6.5 and above only.
The Handlebars variable as described in the Handlebars
documentation is exported as
PlainHandlebars, and is available on both the client and the server.
This is completely separate from the Handlebars variable that Meteor
exports on the client. (The two versions don't share helpers or
templates, for example).
The main entry points in the API are compile, registerHelper,
and registerPartial.
compile is described in the Handlebars documentation
Getting Started, and
registerHelper is described in
Helpers.
registerPartial doesn't seem to be in the Handlebars documentation,
but is described in a treehouse blog post
Partials and
Helpers.
var myTemplate = PlainHandlebars.compile("Hello {{name}}.");
console.log(myTemplate({name: "Alice"}));
Files with the .plain extension are parsed for
<template name="...">...</template> definitions, which are saved by
name in PlainTemplate and also registered as partials (so that they
can be referenced using the {{> subtemplateName}} notation).
However, while Meteor automatically loads .html files first,
.plain files are not automatically loaded before code files.
Instead, they follow the load order as described in Structuring Your
App. Thus, for your code
to see a template in PlainTemplate, you need to either get the
.plain file loaded first (such as by putting it in the lib
directory), or use Meteor.startup.
Also note that adding a helper to a template won't work, as that's a
Meteor extension: helpers can only be defined globally using
PlainTemplate.registerHelper. There are also no template instances,
nor are there the rendered, created etc. callbacks.
<template name="greetings">
{{> hello}}
Welcome.
</template>
<template name="hello">
Hello {{name}}.
</template>
console.log(PlainTemplate.greetings({name: "Bob"}));
