Express.js hbs module - register partials from .hbs file

Question

I\'m using the handlebars.js hbs wrapper in express.js. I have templates working fine, but I\'m needing to add in partials to be rendered with my views.

I\'d like to

Answer 1

For convenience, registerPartials provides a quick way to load all partials from a specific directory:

var hbs = require('hbs');
hbs.registerPartials(__dirname + '/views/partials');

Partials that are loaded from a directory are named based on their filename, where spaces and hyphens are replaced with an underscore character:

template.html      -> {{> template}}
template 2.html    -> {{> template_2}}
login view.hbs     -> {{> login_view}}
template-file.html -> {{> template_file}}

Cheers!
