Handlebars for Iron

This library combines Handlebars templating library and Iron web framework together. It gives you a HandlebarsEngine as Iron AfterMiddleware, so you can render your data with specified handlebars template.

Setup

Given the template root directory (prefix) and template file extension (suffix), you can create HandlebarsEngine with Handlebars::new("/prefix/path", ".hbs") function. HandlebarsEngine will scan the directory and its sub-directories (with Unix glob **/*), and register these templates with path/name as name.

Usage

From any of your handler, you can set template name and data into our Template struct. Remember you need to make your data ToJson-able, which is required by handlebars-rust.

We have implemented Modifier for Template on Response, so you can just use response.set to put set template into response and let it processed by our middleware.

Also we made Response plugin for Template via HandlebarsEngine. So you can test your handler from a test case, and retrieve the Template you set into it by response.get::<HandlebarsEngine>.
