handlebars.js

Trying to use handlebars.js for templating but the library seems to ignore newlines. What is the correct way to deal with newlines? Should they be replaced manually after the templating action? Uri It doesn't do so automatically, but using the helpers feature this can be achieved: JS: Handlebars.registerHelper('breaklines', function(text) { text = Handlebars.Utils.escapeExpression(text); text = text.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm, '<br>'); return new Handlebars.SafeString(text); }); HTML template: <div> {{breaklines description}} </div> Douglas Adam Smith II By inserting three braces instead of the

I am trying to make a simple HelloWorld project with Node.js|Express using Handlebars.js as a server template engine. The problem is that I couldn't find any examples of using such chain, especially with multiple view. For example I would like to define header view: <header> <span>Hello: {{username}}</span> </header> And use it in every page with other views. Maybe I am thinking about this views in a wrong way, I thought that view is kind of control that I can reuse on any page inside any other view. I appreciate any link to the tutorial or (much better) open source project that I can lear

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 files, it works just fine. I can't figure where, in Sails workflow, and in a Sails way , I should register partials, helpers etc... I'm more looking for best practices than just a working solution but any help will be appreciated. I'm running v0.10 beta but this shouldn't affect how I got it working below: Engine should be handlebars as expected Routes need to explicitly define controller and action. Setting view won't work. (Unless there's

I'm iterating over a list in Handlebars using the built-in each helper. Within the each block, I'm referencing the current loop index {{@index}} to print the consecutive number of an item: <script id="list-item-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template"> {{#each items}} <li class="topcoat-list__item"> <a href="#{{@index}}">Item number {{@index}}</a> </li> {{/each}} </script> This gives the following output: Item number 0 Item number 1 Item number 2 .... The problem is that I want to display an offsetted index which starts with 1 instead of 0. I tried to perform calculations on the index like

My Emberjs app is running slowly so I wanted to precompile my template to ease the runtime a bit. However I'm lost on how to proceed. I read http://handlebarsjs.com/precompilation.html and Emberjs introduction but no, all I could do was just creating a template file as instructed on the site, and I cannot figure out what and how to do with this template file in Emberjs. How can I precompile templates in Emberjs? What should I do with the template file to use it in Emberjs? Thomas Bartelmess You can set the precompiled handlebars output to the template property (not templateName) on you ember

I need to know if AngularJS is used as js framework for the front-end, do we need Handlebars separately for template-engine? ... as in my view template-engine functionality can be accomplished using AngularJS itself ! You are right, Handlebars and Angular together would be pretty useless. Handlebars and Angular are completely different things. Handlebars is a template engine. You write a fancy templatey-string, give it a JSON object, and it renders out HTML from the data. There's no data-binding, no updating, it's just a once-off render. AngularJS is an HTML compiler and databinder. Angular

I have a simple route with a parameter: this.route('article', { path: '/article/:_id', data: function() { return Articles.findOne(this.params._id); } }); I would like to have use the pathFor handlebars helper here with the _id: {{#each articles}} <li><a href="{{pathFor 'article' _id}}">{{title}}</a></li> {{/each}} This doesnt work for passing the _id tag into the url though... <li><a href="{{pathFor 'article' _id=this._id }}">{{title}}</a></li> Thats how you pass a parameter In your example you don't need to pass any parameters. The pathFor helper will automatically use the current data

I am using Handlebars in an Express Node.js app. My layout.html file includes a <head> section. How can I make the <head> section different for different pages? (So that I can, for example, reference a JavaScript file in only one page, and vary the <title> for each page.) layout.html looks like this: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <script src='/public/ajsfile.js'></script> <link type='text/css' href="/public/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body> {{{body}}} </body> </html> (I am imagining varying the <head> content with something analogous to {{{body}}} in the above,

I am learning Backbone/Handlebars/Require. I have looked all over online and on SO - are there any tutorials or websites that you can direct me to that would provide helpful information for using using handlebars instead of underscore? SimplGy Using handlebars.js instead of underscore templating is pretty straightforward. Check out this example: https://cdnjs.com/libraries/backbone.js/tutorials/what-is-a-view (scroll to the "Loading a Template" section) SearchView = Backbone.View.extend({ initialize: function(){ this.render(); }, render: function(){ // Compile the template using underscore var
