Alternate Handlebars interpreter

hbsinterp is a simple alternative Handlebars interpreter, intended primarily for cases where templates are only evaluated once (e.g. template directives in content), not re-applying the same template to multiple contexts (e.g. layouts).

• TypeScript-first.
• Supports asynchronous context data and helpers.
• Directly interprets the template (instead of compiling to and evaluating JavaScript). This makes it slower than the original Handlebars when repeatedly evaluating a template, but should generally be faster when evaluating a template once.

It uses the same parser as Handlebars, and directly evaluates the AST.

import { interpret } from '@mdekstrand/hbsinterp';

let result = await interpret(templateText, {
    context: {
        var1: 'value',
    },
});
