A basic implimentation of handlebars for metalsmith
I made this plugin as an alternative to metalsmith-jstransformer so that the handlebars inline templating functionality can be leveraged. This means you can use handlebars like this:
---
title: Home
---
{{#> main-layout }}
{{#* inline "content-block" }}
Hello, welcome to my metalsmith static site.
{{/inline}}
{{/main-layout}}<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
{{>content-block}}
</body>
</html>The plugin can be used in the metalsmith 'use' definition like this:
const Metalsmith = require('metalsmith'),
handlebars = require('metalsmith-handlebars');
Metalsmith(__dirname)
.use(handlebars({
pattern: '**/*.hbs', // defaults to '**'
partials: 'partials', // defaults to 'partials' in the root
targetExtension: 'html' // defaults to html
}))
.build(function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Build finished!');
});
