Cake.Handlebars

A simple Cake addin for rendering and compiling Handlebars templates

Installation

In your build script, add the following directive to install Cake.Handlebars:

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Handlebars

Usage

This addin exposes four aliases for rendering and compiling, from either string or input file.

var result = RenderTemplate("Hello {{ name }}!", new { name = "World"});
result = RenderTemplateFromFile("./template.hbs", new { name = "World"});

var compiled = CompileTemplate("Hello {{ name}}!");
var result = compiled(new { name = "World"});

var template = CompileTemplateFromFile("./template.hbs");
result = template(new { name = "World"});

Writing to file

While the above examples will work anywhere you want the string output, you can also write directly to a file using the fluent WriteToFile method:

RenderTemplate("Hello {{ name }}!", new { name = "World"}).WriteToFile("./output.txt");

var compiled = CompileTemplate("Hello {{ name}}!");
var result = compiled(new { name = "World"}).WriteToFile("./output.txt");
