hapi promise view: lets you pass promises to reply.view()

this module is super basic, and probably won't work very well with your code; use this at your own risk! (and open up some issues/PRs to help this module grow)

const hpv = require('hpv')
const handlebars = require('handlebars')

// assuming 'server' is your set up hapi server w/ vision

// wrap server.views object in hpv
server.views(hpv({
  engines: {
    handlebars: handlebars
  }
}))

server.route({
  path: '/',
  method: 'GET',
  handler: (request, reply) => {
    const promise = handleIndex(request, reply)
    reply.view('index', promise)
  }
})

function handleIndex (request, reply) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    resolve({
      nice: 5
    })
  })
}

API

hpv(viewsOptions, options)

• viewsOptions: configuration object for server.views
  • compileMode is force set to 'async', although you should set compileMode to let hpv know how to wrap the compile function
  • every engine's compile function is wrapped in hpv's custom wrapper that passes through the context
• options: configuration for hpv
  • allowPassthrough: (default: true) if context promise is not a Promise, don't throw an error and use it as the context for the template
