Handlebars Helpers

Handlebars Helpers is a library that provides 44 handlebars helpers across 7 categories, it was built to complement cowboyd/handlebars.rb with Ruby helpers commonly found in the Javascript community

This GEM is inspired by the Javascript Library handlebars-helpers.

I am following a lot of the categories found there, but this GEM is not a one for one match to the existing JS library as I feel it is a bit dated and could use some new helpers and categories may be relevant today.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'handlebars-helpers'

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

gem install handlebars-helpers

As a Ruby Developer, I want to use HandlebarsJS with useful helpers, so that I have a rich templating experience

See all stories

See all usage examples

Render a template value using camel case and dasherize case

Handlebars::Helpers::Template.render('{{camel .}}', 'david was here') # => "DavidWasHere"

Handlebars::Helpers::Template.render('{{dasherize .}}', 'david was here') # => "david-was-here"

Checkout the repo

git clone klueless-io/handlebars-helpers

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests.

You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

bin/console

Handlebars::Helpers::Template.render('{{camel .}}', 'david was here')
# => "DavidWasHere"
Handlebars::Helpers::Template.render('{{dasherize .}}', 'david was here')
# => "david-was-here"

handlebars-helpers is setup with Guard, run guard, this will watch development file changes and run tests automatically, if successful, it will then run rubocop for style quality.

To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, build the gem and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

gem build
gem push rspec-usecases-?.?.??.gem
# or push the latest gem
ls *.gem | sort -r | head -1 | xargs gem push
