Template literals about express-handlebars HOT 3 CLOSED

It's possible through escaping, but this is a primary reason I created this package and I have an example for a better way of sharing templates with the client: https://github.com/ericf/express3-handlebars/tree/master/examples/advanced

Let me know if that example matches what you were looking to do.

Hmm, seems my previous comment was removed?

Anyway, thanks for your example, but I think it's a bit too complex for my needs. I would just like to output in the rendered html of my .hbs file the following:

<script id="product-detail-row" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
        <tr class="product-detail-row" data-id="{{_id}}"><td>
        {{{productDetailLabel}}}
        ....
</script>

At the moment this renders an empty string instead of {{{productDetailLabel}}}, because it gets rendered by the hbs engine. Is it possible without precompiling this in your middleware method? How would you do it through escaping?

At the moment I put the contents of the script block in a separate .js file, but it would be cleaner to put this in my .hbs, since it's markup code.

Thanks

Not sure, I didn't remove it.

I would advice that you precompile the templates because then you'd only need to use handlebars.runtime.js in the browser which is much smaller than the full handlebars.js which has the template compiler.

The Advanced Example does more stuff then what you'd probably need, here are the relevant parts:

• Layout for shared templates
• Express Handlebars instance
• Expose templates middleware

How would you do it through escaping?

You would need to have the templates escaped on disk or process the files after you read them in, which is probably not what you'd want to do if the idea is that you're sharing these templates.
