@types/handlebars

What is @types/handlebars?

@types/handlebars provides TypeScript type definitions for the Handlebars templating engine, allowing developers to use Handlebars with TypeScript more effectively by providing type safety and autocompletion.

What are @types/handlebars's main functionalities?

Template Compilation

Compiles a Handlebars template string into a function that can be executed with a context object to produce a rendered string.

const template = Handlebars.compile('Hello, {{name}}!');

Template Execution

Executes a compiled Handlebars template function with a given context object to produce a rendered string.

const result = template({ name: 'World' });

Registering Helpers

Registers a helper function that can be used within Handlebars templates to perform custom transformations or logic.

Handlebars.registerHelper('uppercase', function(str) { return str.toUpperCase(); });

Registering Partials

Registers a partial template that can be included and reused within other Handlebars templates.

Handlebars.registerPartial('myPartial', '<div>{{content}}</div>');

Other packages similar to @types/handlebars

@types/mustache

@types/mustache provides TypeScript type definitions for the Mustache templating engine. Mustache is a logic-less templating language, which means it does not support custom helpers or advanced logic like Handlebars, making it simpler but less powerful.

@types/ejs

@types/ejs provides TypeScript type definitions for the EJS templating engine. EJS allows for more complex logic and JavaScript code within templates compared to Handlebars, making it more flexible but potentially harder to maintain.

@types/pug

@types/pug provides TypeScript type definitions for the Pug templating engine. Pug uses a different syntax (indentation-based) and offers more advanced features like mixins and includes, making it more powerful but with a steeper learning curve compared to Handlebars.
