What is handlebars?

Handlebars is a popular templating engine for JavaScript. It allows you to create templates with dynamic content that can be rendered with different contexts. It is commonly used to generate HTML for web pages, but can also be used for other types of text output.

What are handlebars's main functionalities?

Simple Templating

Handlebars allows you to iterate over an array and generate HTML for each item. In this example, 'people' is an array that is iterated over, and for each item, a paragraph element is created with the content of the item.

{{#each people}}<p>{{this}}</p>{{/each}}

Conditional Statements

You can use conditional statements in your templates to render different HTML based on the context. Here, if 'isAdmin' is true, a button is displayed; otherwise, a paragraph is shown.

{{#if isAdmin}}<button>Admin</button>{{else}}<p>Not an admin</p>{{/if}}

Custom Helpers

Handlebars allows you to define custom helpers that you can use in your templates. In this example, a 'loud' helper is created that converts a string to uppercase.

Handlebars.registerHelper('loud', function (aString) { return aString.toUpperCase(); });

Built-in Helpers

Handlebars provides built-in helpers like 'with' which you can use to change the context within a block. This example shows how to use the 'with' helper to access properties of an object without repeating the object name.

{{#with person}}<p>{{firstName}} {{lastName}}</p>{{/with}}

Partials

Partials are reusable template fragments in Handlebars. You can define a partial and then include it in other templates. This code shows how to include a partial named 'userMessage'.

{{> userMessage}}
