express-handlebars-multi v0.2.31

express-handlebars-multi

express-handlebars-multi provides functionality that is largely similar to express-handlebars with added support for multiple views, layouts, and partials directories.

express-handlebars-multi uses a single global instance for configuration and caching.

Usage

var express = require('express')
var expressHandlebarsMulti = require('express-handlebars-multi')

var app = express()

var engine = expressHandlebarsMulti({
    defaultLayout: 'main.layout',
    ext: '.hbs',
    helpers: {
        fooHelper: function (val) {
            return 'foo: '+val
        },
    },
    layoutDirs: ['/bar/layouts', '/foo/layouts'],
    partialDirs: ['/var/partials', '/foo/partials'],
})

app.engine('.hbs', engine)
app.set('view engine', '.hbs')
app.set('views', ['/bar/views', '/foo/views'])

// enable caching -- enabled by default when NODE_ENV === 'production'
app.enable('view cache')

Reseting global config and caches

var expressHandlebarsMulti = require('express-handlebars-multi')

expressHandlebarsMulti.reset()

Setting/getting global config options

var expressHandlebarsMulti = require('express-handlebars-multi')

expressHandlebarsMulti.config({
    helpers: {
        barHelper: function (val) {
            return 'bar: '+val
        },
    },
})

var config = expressHandlebarsMulti.config()
