Dynamic Partials

In order to include partial based on data the handlebars helper dynamicPartial can be used. please follow the examples on this page: Handlebars Page

Passing data to partials

data is passed either by the global data object, by providing an object or by passing it directly as options in the include tag.

Object: {{> "modules/mymodule/mymodule" modules.mymodule}}

Params: {{> "modules/mymodule/mymodule" title="Today is Thursday" state="cloudy"}}

Precompiled Templates (JS)

To use precompiled Templates (bundled with the js-package) you need to do these things:

1. create a handlerbars file with this pattern _modulename_templatename.js.hbs inside the module-folder.
2. write your template using handlebars syntax. example: https://github.com/unic/estatico/blob/develop/source/demo/modules/slideshow/_slideshow_slide.js.hbs

Using Precompiled template

add references to your module.

var templates = {
    foo: require('./_module_foo.js.hbs')
};

requireing a handlebars template this way automatically makes it usable as handlebars-template inside your js-module.

parse template with data

var data = {
  title: 'foo',
  text: 'bar'
}

var templateOutput = templates.foo(data);

an example can be seen in the slideshow-demo-module: slideshow.js#L6 and slideshow.js#L104
