NAME

Dancer::Template::Handlebars - Wrapper for the Handlebars template system

VERSION

version 0.2.2

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
 # in config.yml
template: handlebars
engines:
     handlebars:
         helper_modules:
             - MyApp::HandlebarsHelpers
# in the app
get '/style/:style' => sub {
    template 'style' => {
        style => param('style')
    };
};
# in views/style.mustache
That's a nice, manly {{style}} mustache you have there!

DESCRIPTION

Wrapper for Text::Handlebars, the Perl implementation of the Handlebars templating system.

Configuration

The arguments passed to the 'handlebars' engine are given directly to the Text::Handlebars constructor, with the exception of helper_modules (see below for details).

Calls to 'template()'

When calling template, one can use a filename as usual, or can pass a string reference, which will treated as the template itself.


            

              
              
get '/file' => sub {
    # look for the file views/my_template.hbs
    template 'my_template', {
        name => 'Bob',
    };
};
get '/string' => sub {
    # provide the template directly
    template \'hello there {{name}}', {
        name => 'Bob',
    };
};

The default extension for Handlebars templates is 'hbs'.

Helper Functions

Handlebars helper functions can be defined in modules, which are passed via helper_modules in the configuration. See Dancer::Template::Handlebars::Helpers for more details on how to register the functions themselves.

Layouts

Layouts are supported. The content of the inner template will be available via the 'content' variable.

Example of a perfectly valid, if slightly boring, layout:


            

              
              
<html>
<body>
    {{ content }}
</body>
</html>
