Simple wrapper plugin for XaminProject/handlebars.php
class AppController extends Controller {
public $view = 'Handlebars.Handlebars';
}The view will only render through Handlebars if the template filename has one of the supported file extensions:
*.hbs*.handlebars
They can live happily next to any existing .ctp file in your project. You
can mix and match your template rendering as you see fit or even only
use Handlebars for elements (recommended).
As soon as a view is rendered through Handlebars any template that has been used
is loaded into the global scripts array and rendered as inline template. It works by
using the $scripts_for_layout, which you should have echo'd in your layout.
<!-- example output -->
<script type="text/x-handlebars-template" id="elements-post">...</script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars-template" id="elements-account">...</script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars-template" id="elements-navigation">...</script>This way you can share them with your Javascript.
- Handlebars templates are served and consumed raw, just like the Javascript version.
- This view won't magically transform your CakePHP Helpers to Handlebars Helpers.
- The focus was on creating and parsing reusable/shareable snippets.
- I probably wouldn't try to write the main layout template in Handlebars.
The vendor files are managed by Composer so it should only be a matter of typing:
composer update
