How to configure partials and layouts for Handlebars in Sails.js?

Question

I run Sails 0.9.7 and have installed Handlebars which is supported by Consolidate.js and therefore is supported by Sails

I can serve pages from .handlebars

Answer 1

I'm running out of time but I'm getting close to an answer, I think. I'll update this reply when I get more details, but if you want to poke at it, check out line 501 in the included consolidate.js file. View on github here: https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/blob/master/lib/configuration/consolidate.js#L501

It looks like for Handlebars there is a for loop that registers partials from options.partials.

That is not exactly a very satisfying solution, but if you push your partials on to that options object then maybe it will pull from that.

The big question I have next is, what is the options object, and where does it get set at?
