A collection of helpers and partials for handlebars

Installation

npm install --save clayhandlebars

Usage

By default, clayhandlebars will export a function that returns a new handlebars instance with all of the helpers and partials added.

var hbs = require('clayhandlebars')(),
  template = hbs.compile('<h1>Hello {{ place }}!</h1>'),
  result = template({ place: 'World' });

// result: <h1>Hello World!</h1>

Passing env in

If you want to configure and use your own handlebars environment, you can pass it through

var Handlebars = require('express-handlebars'),
  env = new Handlebars({ /* some config */ }),
  hbs = require('clayhandlebars')(env),
  app = require('express')();

app.engine('handlebars', hbs.engine);
app.set('view engine', 'handlebars');

Returns value of the property from the object

Example

{{ join (map [{ a: "1" }, { a: "2" }] (getProp "a"))}}
