gulp-static-handlebars v1.2.0

Gulp Static Handlebars

Reads data, partials and helpers from asynchronous sources like a databases, file systems, or promises.

Example with any A+ compatible promises library:

function getData() {
    return Promise.resolve({contents: 'whatever'});
}

function getHelpers() {
    return Promise.resolve({menu: function(options) { return 'menu!'; }});
}

function getPartials() {
    return Promise.resolve({header: '<header></header>', footer: '<footer></footer>'});
}

gulp.src('./app/index.hbs')
      .pipe(handlebars(getData(), {helpers: getHelpers(), partials: getPartials()}))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));

Another example with vinyl pipes

gulp.src('./app/index.hbs')
      .pipe(handlebars({contents:"whatever"}, {
        helpers: gulp.src('./app/helpers/**/*.js'),
        partials: gulp.src('./app/partials/**/*.hbs')
      }))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));

var MyHandlebars = handlebars.instance() // get Handlebars
handlebars.instance(MyHandlebars) // use another Handlebars instance
