helper-interpolate v1.0.0

Interpolation helper

Useful when you want to yield a value from an object based upon a string value.

<div class="staff">
{{#each (interpolate "person" employees)}}
  {{name}}
{{/each}}
</div>

Usage

The interpolate helper expects a key and a context to be passed to it. It will then return whatever exists within context[key] or undefined.

You can use the register method to register with your instance of handlebars. Some plugins may use this by default.

Gulp example

Brief example with Gulp using gulp-hb and gulp-ext.

gulp.task('handlebars', function () {
    var ext = require('gulp-ext');
    var handlebars = require('gulp-hb');

    return gulp.src('./pages/')
        .pipe(handlebars({
            helpers: [
                require.resolve('helper-interpolate')
            ],
            partials: './partials/'
        }))
        .pipe(ext.replace('html'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});
