2
+ ## Handlebars.rb
3
+
4
+ This uses [therubyracer][1] to bind to the _actual_ JavaScript implementation of
5
+ [Handlebars.js][2] so that you can use it from ruby.
6
+
7
+ ## Usage
8
+
9
+ Simple stuff
10
+
11
+ require 'handlebars'
12
+ template = Handlebars.compile("{{say}}{{what}}")
13
+ template.call(:say => "Hey", :what => "Yuh!") #=> "Hey Yuh!"
14
+
15
+ With functions as properties
16
+
17
+ template.call(:say => "Hey", :what => lambda {|this| ("yo" * 2) + "!"}) #=> "Hey yoyo!"
18
+
19
+ Register block helpers:
20
+
21
+ Handlebars.register_helper(:twice) do |block|
22
+ "#{block.call}#{block.call}"
23
+ end
24
+ template = Handlebars.compile({{#twice}}Hurray!{{/twice}})
25
+ template.call #=> Hurray!Hurray!
26
+
27
+ ## Hack
28
+
29
+ git clone git@github.com:cowboyd/handlebars.rb.git #git it
30
+ cd handlebars.rb #go to it
31
+ git submodule update --init #pull down handlebars.js
32
+ rspec spec/ #test it
33
+
34
+
35
+ ## Rubygems
36
+
37
+ Handlebars is available via the [hbs][3] gem on rubygems.org. There is also a
38
+ [handlebars][4] gem, which is a pure-ruby implementation that appears to no longer be maintained.

3
+ Handlebars.js
4
+ =============
5
+
6
+ Handlebars.js is an extension to the [Mustache templating language](http://mustache.github.com/) created by Chris Wanstrath. Handlebars.js and Mustache are both logicless templating languages that keep the view and the code separated like we all know they should be.
7
+
8
+ Checkout the official Handlebars docs site at [http://www.handlebarsjs.com](http://www.handlebarsjs.com).
9
+
10
+
11
+ Installing
12
+ ----------
13
+ Installing Handlebars is easy. Simply [download the package from GitHub](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/archives/master) and add it to your web pages (you should usually use the most recent version).
14
+
15
+ Usage
16
+ -----
17
+ In general, the syntax of Handlebars.js templates is a superset of Mustache templates. For basic syntax, check out the [Mustache manpage](http://mustache.github.com/mustache.5.html).
18
+
19
+ Once you have a template, use the Handlebars.compile method to compile the template into a function. The generated function takes a context argument, which will be used to render the template.
20
+
21
+ ```js
22
+ var source = "<p>Hello, my name is {{name}}. I am from {{hometown}}. I have " +
23
+ "{{kids.length}} kids:</p>" +
24
+ "<ul>{{#kids}}<li>{{name}} is {{age}}</li>{{/kids}}</ul>";
25
+ var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
26
+
27
+ var data = { "name": "Alan", "hometown": "Somewhere, TX",
28
+ "kids": [{"name": "Jimmy", "age": "12"}, {"name": "Sally", "age": "4"}]};
29
+ var result = template(data);
30
+
31
+ // Would render:
32
+ // <p>Hello, my name is Alan. I am from Somewhere, TX. I have 2 kids:</p>
33
+ // <ul>
34
+ // <li>Jimmy is 12</li>
35
+ // <li>Sally is 4</li>
36
+ // </ul>
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+
40
+ Registering Helpers
41
+ -------------------
42
+
43
+ You can register helpers that Handlebars will use when evaluating your
44
+ template. Here's an example, which assumes that your objects have a URL
45
+ embedded in them, as well as the text for a link:
46
+
47
+ ```js
48
+ Handlebars.registerHelper('link_to', function(context) {
49
+ return "<a href='" + context.url + "'>" + context.body + "</a>";
50
+ });
51
+
52
+ var context = { posts: [{url: "/hello-world", body: "Hello World!"}] };
53
+ var source = "<ul>{{#posts}}<li>{{{link_to this}}}</li>{{/posts}}</ul>"
54
+
55
+ var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
56
+ template(context);
57
+
58
+ // Would render:
59
+ //
60
+ // <ul>
61
+ // <li><a href='/hello-world'>Hello World!</a></li>
62
+ // </ul>
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ Escaping
66
+ --------
67
+
68
+ By default, the `{{expression}}` syntax will escape its contents. This
69
+ helps to protect you against accidental XSS problems caused by malicious
70
+ data passed from the server as JSON.
71
+
72
+ To explicitly *not* escape the contents, use the triple-mustache
73
+ (`{{{}}}`). You have seen this used in the above example.
74
+
75
+
76
+ Differences Between Handlebars.js and Mustache
77
+ ----------------------------------------------
78
+ Handlebars.js adds a couple of additional features to make writing templates easier and also changes a tiny detail of how partials work.
79
+
80
+ ### Paths
81
+
82
+ Handlebars.js supports an extended expression syntax that we call paths. Paths are made up of typical expressions and . characters. Expressions allow you to not only display data from the current context, but to display data from contexts that are descendents and ancestors of the current context.
83
+
84
+ To display data from descendent contexts, use the `.` character. So, for example, if your data were structured like:
85
+
86
+ ```js
87
+ var data = {"person": { "name": "Alan" }, company: {"name": "Rad, Inc." } };
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ you could display the person's name from the top-level context with the following expression:
91
+
92
+ ```
93
+ {{person.name}}
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ You can backtrack using `../`. For example, if you've already traversed into the person object you could still display the company's name with an expression like `{{../company.name}}`, so:
97
+
98
+ ```
99
+ {{#person}}{{name}} - {{../company.name}}{{/person}}
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ would render:
103
+
104
+ ```
105
+ Alan - Rad, Inc.
106
+ ```
107
+
108
+ ### Strings
109
+
110
+ When calling a helper, you can pass paths or Strings as parameters. For
111
+ instance:
112
+
113
+ ```js
114
+ Handlebars.registerHelper('link_to', function(title, context) {
115
+ return "<a href='/posts" + context.id + "'>" + title + "</a>"
116
+ });
117
+
118
+ var context = { posts: [{url: "/hello-world", body: "Hello World!"}] };
119
+ var source = '<ul>{{#posts}}<li>{{{link_to "Post" this}}}</li>{{/posts}}</ul>'
120
+
121
+ var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
122
+ template(context);
123
+
124
+ // Would render:
125
+ //
126
+ // <ul>
127
+ // <li><a href='/hello-world'>Post!</a></li>
128
+ // </ul>
129
+ ```
130
+
131
+ When you pass a String as a parameter to a helper, the literal String
132
+ gets passed to the helper function.
133
+
134
+
135
+ ### Block Helpers
136
+
137
+ Handlebars.js also adds the ability to define block helpers. Block helpers are functions that can be called from anywhere in the template. Here's an example:
138
+
139
+ ```js
140
+ var source = "<ul>{{#people}}<li>{{{#link}}}{{name}}{{/link}}</li>{{/people}}</ul>";
141
+ Handlebars.registerHelper('link', function(context, fn) {
142
+ return '<a href="/people/' + this.__get__("id") + '">' + fn(this) + '</a>';
143
+ });
144
+ var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
145
+
146
+ var data = { "people": [
147
+ { "name": "Alan", "id": 1 },
148
+ { "name": "Yehuda", "id": 2 }
149
+ ]};
150
+ template(data);
151
+
152
+ // Should render:
153
+ // <ul>
154
+ // <li><a href="/people/1">Alan</a></li>
155
+ // <li><a href="/people/2">Yehuda</a></li>
156
+ // </ul>
157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ Whenever the block helper is called it is given two parameters, the argument that is passed to the helper, or the current context if no argument is passed and the compiled contents of the block. Inside of the block helper the value of `this` is the current context, wrapped to include a method named `__get__` that helps translate paths into values within the helpers.
160
+
161
+ ### Partials
162
+
163
+ You can register additional templates as partials, which will be used by
164
+ Handlebars when it encounters a partial (`{{> partialName}}`). Partials
165
+ can either be String templates or compiled template functions. Here's an
166
+ example:
167
+
168
+ ```js
169
+ var source = "<ul>{{#people}}<li>{{> link}}</li>{{/people}}</ul>";
170
+
171
+ Handlebars.registerPartial('link', '<a href="/people/{{id}}">{{name}}</a>')
172
+ var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
173
+
174
+ var data = { "people": [
175
+ { "name": "Alan", "id": 1 },
176
+ { "name": "Yehuda", "id": 2 }
177
+ ]};
178
+
179
+ template(data);
180
+
181
+ // Should render:
182
+ // <ul>
183
+ // <li><a href="/people/1">Alan</a></li>
184
+ // <li><a href="/people/2">Yehuda</a></li>
185
+ // </ul>
186
+ ```
187
+
188
+ ### Comments
189
+
190
+ You can add comments to your templates with the following syntax:
191
+
192
+ ```js
193
+ {{! This is a comment }}
194
+ ```
195
+
196
+ You can also use real html comments if you want them to end up in the output.
197
+
198
+ ```html
199
+ <div>
200
+ {{! This comment will not end up in the output }}
201
+ <!-- This comment will show up in the output -->
202
+ </div>
203
+ ```
204
+
205
+
206
+ Precompiling Templates
207
+ ----------------------
208
+
209
+ Handlebars allows templates to be precompiled and included as javascript
210
+ code rather than the handlebars template allowing for faster startup time.
211
+
212
+ ### Installation
213
+ The precompiler script may be installed via npm using the `npm install -g handlebars`
214
+ command.
215
+
216
+ ### Usage
217
+
218
+ <pre>
219
+ Precompile handlebar templates.
220
+ Usage: handlebars template...
221
+
222
+ Options:
223
+ -f, --output Output File [string]
224
+ -k, --known Known helpers [string]
225
+ -o, --knownOnly Known helpers only [boolean]
226
+ -m, --min Minimize output [boolean]
227
+ -s, --simple Output template function only. [boolean]
228
+ -r, --root Template root. Base value that will be stripped from template names. [string]
229
+ </pre>
230
+
231
+ If using the precompiler's normal mode, the resulting templates will be stored
232
+ to the `Handlebars.templates` object using the relative template name sans the
233
+ extension. These templates may be executed in the same manner as templates.
234
+
235
+ If using the simple mode the precompiler will generate a single javascript method.
236
+ To execute this method it must be passed to the using the `Handlebars.template`
237
+ method and the resulting object may be as normal.
238
+
239
+ ### Optimizations
240
+
241
+ - Rather than using the full _handlebars.js_ library, implementations that
242
+ do not need to compile templates at runtime may include _handlebars.runtime.js_
243
+ whose min+gzip size is approximately 1k.
244
+ - If a helper is known to exist in the target environment they may be defined
245
+ using the `--known name` argument may be used to optimize accesses to these
246
+ helpers for size and speed.
247
+ - When all helpers are known in advance the `--knownOnly` argument may be used
248
+ to optimize all block helper references.
249
+
250
+
251
+ Performance
252
+ -----------
253
+
254
+ In a rough performance test, precompiled Handlebars.js templates (in the original version of Handlebars.js) rendered in about half the time of Mustache templates. It would be a shame if it were any other way, since they were precompiled, but the difference in architecture does have some big performance advantages. Justin Marney, a.k.a. [gotascii](http://github.com/gotascii), confirmed that with an [independent test](http://sorescode.com/2010/09/12/benchmarks.html). The rewritten Handlebars (current version) is faster than the old version, and we will have some benchmarks in the near future.
255
+
256
+
257
+ Building
258
+ --------
259
+
260
+ To build handlebars, just run `rake release`, and you will get two files
261
+ in the `dist` directory.
262
+
263
+
264
+ Upgrading
265
+ ---------
266
+
267
+ When upgrading from the Handlebars 0.9 series, be aware that the
268
+ signature for passing custom helpers or partials to templates has
269
+ changed.
270
+
271
+ Instead of:
272
+
273
+ ```js
274
+ template(context, helpers, partials, [data])
275
+ ```
276
+
277
+ Use:
278
+
279
+ ```js
280
+ template(context, {helpers: helpers, partials: partials, data: data})
281
+ ```
282
+
283
+ Known Issues
284
+ ------------
285
+ * Handlebars.js can be cryptic when there's an error while rendering.
286
+
287
+ Handlebars in the Wild
288
+ -----------------
289
+ * [jblotus](http://github.com/jblotus) created [http://tryhandlebarsjs.com](http://tryhandlebarsjs.com) for anyone who would
290
+ like to try out Handlebars.js in their browser.
291
+ * Don Park wrote an Express.js view engine adapter for Handlebars.js called [hbs](http://github.com/donpark/hbs).
292
+ * [sammy.js](http://github.com/quirkey/sammy) by Aaron Quint, a.k.a. quirkey, supports Handlebars.js as one of its template plugins.
293
+ * [SproutCore](http://www.sproutcore.com) uses Handlebars.js as its main templating engine, extending it with automatic data binding support.
294
+ * [Ember.js](http://www.emberjs.com) makes Handlebars.js the primary way to structure your views, also with automatic data binding support.
295
+ * Les Hill (@leshill) wrote a Rails Asset Pipeline gem named [handlebars_assets](http://github.com/leshill/handlebars_assets).
296
+
297
+ Helping Out
298
+ -----------
299
+ To build Handlebars.js you'll need a few things installed.
300
+
301
+ * Node.js
302
+ * Jison, for building the compiler - `npm install jison`
303
+ * Ruby
304
+ * therubyracer, for running tests - `gem install therubyracer`
305
+ * rspec, for running tests - `gem install rspec`
306
+
307
+ There's a Gemfile in the repo, so you can run `bundle` to install rspec and therubyracer if you've got bundler installed.
308
+
309
+ To build Handlebars.js from scratch, you'll want to run `rake compile` in the root of the project. That will build Handlebars and output the results to the dist/ folder. To run tests, run `rake spec`. You can also run our set of benchmarks with `rake bench`.
