Handlebars middleware for the Iron web framework.
The most recent version of handlebars-iron, like Iron and Handlebars-rust, now compiles on nightly, beta and 1.0 channel. Our travis task will track the compatibility on all three channels.
Add HandlebarsEngine to your Iron middleware chain as an "after" middleware.
/// HandlebarsEngine will look up all files with "./examples/templates/**/*.hbs"
chain.link_after(HandlebarsEngine::new("./examples/templates/", ".hbs"));In your handler, set Template to response. As required by
Handlebars-rust, your data should impl serialize::json::ToJson. If
you are on nightly channel, it is highly recommended to use
tojson_macros to generate
default ToJson implementation without repeating yourself.
/// render data with "index" template
/// that is "./examples/templates/index.hbs"
fn hello_world(_: &mut Request) -> IronResult<Response> {
let mut resp = Response::new();
let data = ...
resp.set_mut(Template::new("index", data)).set_mut(status:Ok);
Ok(resp)
}Since this is simple library, you may run this
example
with cargo run --example server
first, and documentation
then.
Since Rust and its ecosystem are still in early stage, this project might been broken for various reasons. I will try my best to keep this library compiles with latest Rust nightly before the 1.0 final release. If you find anything bad, pull requests and issue reporting are always welcomed.
MIT, of course.
