Handlebars templates

Table of Contents

Overview

The Gentics Portal | java uses the Handlebars.java implementation of Mustache as its template engine.

With Handlebars one can access values in a context via the {{ … }} notation. For example the template

<p>
    Hello {{ firstname }} {{ lastname }}!
</p>

applied to the context

{
    firstname: "John",
    lastname: "Doe"
}

would yield the result

<p>
    Hello John Doe!
</p>

The Handlebars documentation^[1] provides more detailed examples, of simple expressions as well as how to use helpers.

1. The page covers the JavaScript version of Handlebars, but the syntax in the templates as well as the default helpers are the same.
