handlebars-iron

Handlebars middleware for the Iron web framework.

Currently handlebars-iron still uses some unstable APIs, which means this project might break on Rust 1.0.0-beta. Please use Rust nightlies instead.

Usage

Add HandlebarsEngine to your Iron middleware chain as an "after" middleware.

  /// HandlebarsEngine will look up all files with "./examples/templates/**/*.hbs"
  chain.link_after(HandlebarsEngine::new("./examples/templates/", ".hbs"));

In your handler, set Template to response. As required by Handlebars-rust, your data should impl serialize::json::ToJson.

/// render data with "index" template
/// that is "./examples/templates/index.hbs"
fn hello_world(_: &mut Request) -> IronResult<Response> {
    let mut resp = Response::new();

    let data = ...
    resp.set_mut(Template::new("index", data)).set_mut(status:Ok);
    Ok(resp)
}

Since this is simple library, you may run this example with cargo run --example server first, and documentation then.

Since Rust and its ecosystem are still in early stage, this project might been broken for various reasons. I will try my best to keep this library compiles with latest Rust nightly before the 1.0 final release. If you find anything bad, pull requests and issue reporting are always welcomed.
