should support Handlebars

[sintaxi]

• should have the extension .hbs.

[kebot]

What will be the output? I compile jade, handlebars into js file(a AMD module), but others may not. So configure is needed.

[L8D]

I think it should have the extension .ext.hbs where ext is some kind of file extension.
Example: index.html.hbs or app.coffee.hbs

But remember to do the chain compiling, so that app.coffee.hbs ends up as app.js. 😃

Support for handlebars would be really cool!

[cfjedimaster]

Big plus one here.

[L8D]

The only thing that it would support is the global variables you define in the harp.json.

I am also a 👍 - handlebars is my go-to templating engine. I really dislike jade :P

Is this being worked on or still considered? I might take a stab at this and implement it in terraform.

[kennethormandy]

@gillesdemey We have an open pull request for it sintaxi/terraform#93 but haven’t merged it yet. Browserify support is still our next planned release.

[cfjedimaster]

Is there anything we can do to help get the PR in? Like testing of any
sort.

Something is still unclear to me. What does handlebars do which isn't already provided by ejs? How does handlebars improve harp?

[cfjedimaster]

Well you can make the argument that one template language is all you need.
:) At the end of the day though supporting Handlebars is about providing
more choices for users. Imo, Handlebars is just plain nicer to use than
EJS.

If there is any grunt work I can do to make this happen I will.

I hit send before boarding a plane - as part of the grunt work, I'd be
happy to help update the core docs for the site.

Honestly, most of that is done on a branch already too https://github.com/harp/harpjs.com/tree/ko-handlebars

[sidonaldson]

If it's a quick win then why not?

@sintaxi @kennethormandy
What is the status of sintaxi/terraform#93? Is it ready to go ahead?

[zoltan-nz]

I'm really looking forward the handlebar support. Hope will be released soon. ;) Keep up the good work.

[n400]

Looking forward to this as well because I have a handlebars site I want to move to harp

[gabskoro]

It's almost three years now after the issue was opened, what are we waiting for?

In my particular case, I would like to port a legacy project to harp.js. The project uses twig templates. If harp.js would offer the possibility to use other templating-engines, such a port would be much simpler.
