Handlebars helpers which implement layout blocks similar to Jade, Jinja, Nunjucks, Swig, and Twig.
With Node.js:
$ npm install handlebars-layouts
With Bower:
$ bower install shannonmoeller/handlebars-layouts
Helpers are generated by passing in your instance of Handlebars. This allows you to selectively register the helpers on various instances of Handlebars.
layouts(handlebars) : Objecthandlebars Handlebars - An instance of Handlebars.Generates an object containing the layout helpers suitible for passing into registerHelper.
var handlebars = require('handlebars'),
layouts = require('handlebars-layouts');
handlebars.registerHelper(layouts(handlebars));
layouts.register(handlebars) : Objecthandlebars Handlebars - An instance of Handlebars.Both generates an object containing the layout helpers and registers them with Handlebars automatically.
var handlebars = require('handlebars'),
layouts = require('handlebars-layouts');
layouts.register(handlebars);
{{#extend [partial] [context] [key=value ...]}}partial String - Name of partial to render.context Object (Optional) - A custom context for the partial.attributes Object (Optional) - Arbitrary values that will be added to the partial data context.Loads a layout partial of a given name and defines block content.
{{#extend "layout" foo="bar"}}
{{#content "title" mode="prepend"}}Example - {{/content}}
{{/extend}}
The {{#extend}} helper allows you to reason about your layouts as you would class extension where the above is equivalent to the following psuedo code:
class Page extends Layout {
constructor() {
this.foo = 'bar';
}
title() {
return 'Example - ' + super();
}
}
{{#embed [partial] [context] [key=value ...]}}partial String - Name of partial to render.context Object (Optional) - A custom context for the partial.attributes Object (Optional) - Arbitrary values that will be added to the partial data context.Allows you to load a partial which itself extends from a layout. Blocks defined in embedded partials will not conflict with those in the primary layout.
{{#extend "layout"}}
{{#content "body"}}
{{#embed "gallery"}}
{{#content "body"}}
<img src="1.png" alt="" />
<img src="2.png" alt="" />
{{/content}}
{{/embed}}
{{#embed "modal" foo="bar" name=user.fullName}}
{{#content "title" mode="prepend"}}Image 1 - {{/content}}
{{#content "body"}}<img src="1.png" alt="" />{{/content}}
{{/embed}}
{{/content}}
{{/extend}}
The {{#embed}} helper allows you to reason about your partials as you would class instantiation where the above is equivalent to the following psuedo code:
class Page extends Layout {
body() {
var gallery = new Gallery();
gallery.replaceBody('<img src="1.png" alt="" />\n<img src="2.png" alt="" />');
var modal = new Modal({
foo: 'bar',
name: this.user.fullName
});
modal.prependTitle('Image 1 - ');
modal.replaceBody('<img src="1.png" alt="" />');
return gallery.toString() + modal.toString();
}
}
{{#block [name]}}name String - Block identifier.Defines a named block, with optional default content. Blocks may have content appended, prepended, or replaced entirely when extending or embedding. You may append and prepend to the same block multiple times.
{{#block "header"}}
<h1>Hello World</h1>
{{/block}}
{{#block "main"}}
<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
{{/block}}
{{#block "footer"}}
<p>© 1970</p>
{{/block}}
{{#content [name] mode="(append|prepend|replace)"}}name String - Identifier of the block to modify.mode String (Optional) - Means of providing block content. Default: replace.Sets block content, optionally appending or prepending using the mode attribute.
Layout:
<html>
...
<body>
{{#block "header"}}
<h1>Hello World</h1>
{{/block}}
{{#block "main"}}
<p>Lorem ipsum.</p>
{{/block}}
{{#block "footer"}}
<p>© 1999</p>
{{/block}}
</body>
</html>
Page:
{{#extend "layout"}}
{{#content "header"}}
<h1>Goodnight Moon</h1>
{{/content}}
{{#content "main" mode="append"}}
<p>Dolor sit amet.</p>
{{/content}}
{{#content "footer" mode="prepend"}}
<p>MIT License</p>
{{/content}}
{{/extend}}
Output:
<html>
...
<body>
<h1>Goodnight Moon</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum.</p>
<p>Dolor sit amet.</p>
<p>MIT License</p>
<p>© 1999</p>
</body>
</html>
There are times where you need to wrap a block with an element or use a different class depending on whether content has been provided for a block. For this purpose, the content helper may be called as a subexpression to check whether content has been provided for a block.
For example, you may wish to have an optional column in a grid layout:
{{!-- layout.hbs --}}
<div class="grid">
<div class="grid-col {{#if (content "right")}}grid-col_2of3{{else}}grid-col_full{{/if}}">
{{{block "left"}}}
</div>
{{#if (content "right")}}
<div class="grid-col grid-col_1of3">
{{{block "right"}}}
</div>
{{/if}}
</div>
For a page that only needs a left column, you may omit defining content for the right block:
{{!-- page.html --}}
{{#extend "layout"}}
{{#content "left"}}
<p>Left</p>
{{/content}}
{{/extend}}
Resulting in:
<div class="grid">
<div class="grid-col grid-col_full">
<p>Left</p>
</div>
</div>
For a page with two columns, simply define content for both blocks:
{{!-- page.html --}}
{{#extend "layout"}}
{{#content "left"}}
<p>Left</p>
{{/content}}
{{#content "right"}}
<p>Right</p>
{{/content}}
{{/extend}}
Resulting in:
<div class="grid">
<div class="grid-col grid-col_2of3">
<p>Left</p>
</div>
<div class="grid-col grid-col_1of3">
<p>Right</p>
</div>
</div>
