Options

• ignorePartials : ignores any unknown partials. Useful if you only want to handle part of the file
• partials : Javascript object that will fill in partials using strings
• batch : Javascript array of filepaths to use as partials
• helpers: javascript functions to stand in for helpers used in the handlebars files
• compile: compile options. See handlebars reference for possible values

handlebars.Handlebars

You can access the Handlebars library from the handlebars.Handlebars property.

var handlebars = require('gulp-compile-handlebars');
var safestring = new handlebars.Handlebars.SafeString('<strong>HELLO! KAANON</strong>');

handlebars.Handlebars

You can access the Handlebars library from the handlebars.Handlebars property.

var handlebars = require('gulp-compile-handlebars');
var safestring = new handlebars.Handlebars.SafeString('<strong>HELLO! KAANON</strong>');

Works with gulp-data

Use gulp-data to pass a data object to the template based on the handlebars file being processed. If you pass in template data this will be extended with the object from gulp-data.

See gulp-data for usage examples.
