Handlebars.js
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Checkout the official Handlebars docs site at
|
||
|

Installing
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See our [installation documentation](http://handlebarsjs.com/installation.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
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).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var source = "<p>Hello, my name is {{name}}. I am from {{hometown}}. I have " +
|
||
|
|
"{{kids.length}} kids:</p>" +
|
||
|
|
"<ul>{{#kids}}<li>{{name}} is {{age}}</li>{{/kids}}</ul>";
|
||
|
|
var template = Handlebars.compile(source);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var data = { "name": "Alan", "hometown": "Somewhere, TX",
|
||
|
|
"kids": [{"name": "Jimmy", "age": "12"}, {"name": "Sally", "age": "4"}]};
|
||
|
|
var result = template(data);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Would render:
|
||
|
|
// <p>Hello, my name is Alan. I am from Somewhere, TX. I have 2 kids:</p>
|
||
|
|
// <ul>
|
||
|
|
// <li>Jimmy is 12</li>
|
||
|
|
// <li>Sally is 4</li>
|
||
|
|
// </ul>
|
||
|
|
```

Precompiling Templates
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Handlebars allows templates to be precompiled and included as javascript code rather than the handlebars template allowing for faster startup time. Full details are located [here](http://handlebarsjs.com/precompilation.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Differences Between Handlebars.js and Mustache
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
Handlebars.js adds a couple of additional features to make writing
|
||
|
|
templates easier and also changes a tiny detail of how partials work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Nested Paths](http://handlebarsjs.com/#paths)
|
||
|
|
- [Helpers](http://handlebarsjs.com/#helpers)
|
||
|
|
- [Block Expressions](http://handlebarsjs.com/#block-expressions)
|
||
|
|
- [Literal Values](http://handlebarsjs.com/#literals)
|
||
|
|
- [Delimited Comments](http://handlebarsjs.com/#comments)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Block expressions have the same syntax as mustache sections but should not be confused with one another. Sections are akin to an implicit `each` or `with` statement depending on the input data and helpers are explicit pieces of code that are free to implement whatever behavior they like. The [mustache spec](http://mustache.github.io/mustache.5.html) defines the exact behavior of sections. In the case of name conflicts, helpers are given priority.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Compatibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few Mustache behaviors that Handlebars does not implement.
|
||
|
|
- Handlebars deviates from Mustache slightly in that it does not perform recursive lookup by default. The compile time `compat` flag must be set to enable this functionality. Users should note that there is a performance cost for enabling this flag. The exact cost varies by template, but it's recommended that performance sensitive operations should avoid this mode and instead opt for explicit path references.
|
||
|
|
- The optional Mustache-style lambdas are not supported. Instead Handlebars provides its own lambda resolution that follows the behaviors of helpers.
|
||
|
|
- Alternative delimiters are not supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported Environments
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Handlebars has been designed to work in any ECMAScript 3 environment. This includes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Node.js
|
||
|
|
- Chrome
|
||
|
|
- Firefox
|
||
|
|
- Safari 5+
|
||
|
|
- Opera 11+
|
||
|
|
- IE 6+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Older versions and other runtimes are likely to work but have not been formally
|
||
|
|
tested. The compiler requires `JSON.stringify` to be implemented natively or via a polyfill. If using the precompiler this is not necessary.

Performance
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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,
|
||
|
|
with many [performance tests](https://travis-ci.org/wycats/handlebars.js/builds/33392182#L538) being 5 to 7 times faster than the Mustache equivalent.
