Using nodejs and handlebars

Hi everybody I'm kind new in nodejs problems I hope o can found what I need as simple as possible So my base problem is how can I use multiple handlebars files in one handlebar page as sections Like to have a page for the headear and another for the body and others for footer and all that just by using nodejs and handlebars ... And thanks after all ^^

Solution

  • You can define the pages except main page as partials. Then you the files in your main file in the form of {{> filename}}

    for eg:

    views/
    main.handelbars
    partials/
        -header.handelbars
        -body.handelbars
        -footer.handelbars

    main.handlebars

    <html>
<title>xxxxxx</title>
<head>
.....
</head>
{{> header}}
{{> body}}
{{> footer}}
</html>

    header.handlebars

    <header>
........
</header>

    body.handlebars

    <div>
........
</div>

    footer.handlebars

    <footer>
........
</footer>

    Dont't forget to add the view engine and mention the public directory to views as well as the partials directory.
