I am using express and node in server side and handlebars as templating engine. Now from the official documentation of gulp-compile-handlebars I came to know about pre-compiling technique of handlebars templates, which I am doing as below -
const handlebars = require('gulp-compile-handlebars');
const rename = require('gulp-rename');
gulp.task('compile-handlebars', function () {
var templateData = {
data: 'Kaanon'
},
options = {
batch : ['./views/partials'],
helpers : {
capitals : function(str){
return str.toUpperCase();
}
}
}
return gulp.src('views/home.handlebars')
.pipe(handlebars(templateData, options))
.pipe(rename('home.html'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
But this allows me to precompile the handlebar templates one by one, whereas I want a process which will compile all files to html in that process itself.
e.g SASS compilation and converting to Css files I am doing like this,
const sass = require('gulp-sass');
gulp.task('styles', function() {
gulp.src('sass/*.scss')
.pipe(sass(compile_config).on('error', sass.logError))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./assets/css/'))
});
This converts all sass files to respective css files.
I want a similar thing for my handlebar templates.
