Express 4.0? about express-handlebars HOT 8 CLOSED

I haven't tried yet. But yeah, I need a new name for this package :)

Too bad the namespace for "express" and "handlebars" is pretty used up :(

from express-handlebars.

Hi Eric,

Ha, no worries, I've used it in the latest version of Express and not seeing any major issues from the get go so looks sort of ok. I'll let you know if I run into anything. You can see my kickstarter project here if your interested:

Good luck with the new package name! :)

Cheers,
Jon

Seems like it definetly works well with 4.0 as we can see on expressjs/express#1838 that changes in how the default .render works weren't made:

The view system will remain tied to the app and will not become middleware (too involved). However this does make me a bit sad in that I was hoping to allow subapps/routers to have their own views if they wanted (something currently not supported) but the more I think about it, the more I think this is a hard approach to pull off realistically. The way express is written, an app is meant to be a single instance which contains some settings and sets up a view system. To this end, I think that even allowing for "mounted" apps is now incorrect and will only cause confusion because none of the app settings or even the app view system will work the way someone would expect when they create this subapp and mount it. For route separation, we have a very good Router. I would like to hear form people currently using "subapps" to see if Router would somehow not serve those needs.

Why not change to node-handlebars-templates ?

+1 on changing name for something less tied up with an express version.
express-handlebars would do the job perfectly

@eberhm I agree express-handlebars would be great, but it's already taken :(

Closing this since it works with Express 4, name discussion can happen in #65

I was able to get express-handlebars, and have now renamed everything.
