Handlebars.js in Django templates

Question

I need a javascript templating system and i think handlebars.js does an excellent job in this case. I\'m having syntax conflicts with handlebars templates inside a django te

Answer 1

I wrote a very small django application : django-templatetag-handlebars exactly for that purpose.

{% load templatetag_handlebars %}

{% tplhandlebars "tpl-infos" %}
    {{total}} {% trans "result(s)." %}
    
{% trans "Min" %}: {{min}}
    
{% trans "Max" %}: {{max}}
{% endtplhandlebars %}

Render your block as usual using Handlebars.js API :

var properties = {
    total: 10,
    min: 5,
    max: 4
};

var template = Handlebars.compile($('#tpl-infos').html()),
    rendered = template(properties);

I wrote it the day @chrisv published its package, with a KISS approach in mind. It is mainly based on Miguel Araujo's gist : https://gist.github.com/893408.
