create-frame v1.0.0

create-frame

Easily add private variables to handlebars block helpers.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save create-frame

Usage

var createFrame = require('create-frame');

Example

Create private variables from options hash arguments.

Template

The @post variable inside the block is created by the post hash argument. So the context of @post is the this object that is passed to the block.

{{#block post=this}}
<h1>{{@post.title}}</h1>
{{/block}}

Helper

The following helper uses createFrame, then it extends the "frame" with hash arguments.

handlebars.registerHelper('block', function (options) {
  var frame = createFrame(options.data);
  // extend the frame with hash arguments
  frame.extend(options.hash);
  return options.fn(options, {data: frame});
});

var fn = handlebars.compile(str);
fn({title: 'My Blog Post'});
