This package adds support for server side Handlebars in Meteor. It's primarily intended as a stop gap for server side email html until Meteor releases server side rendering support.

Install the package with Meteorite

> meteor add cmather:handlebars-server

Install the package without Meteorite in your project folder

> cd my-project
> git init
> mkdir packages
> git submodule add https://github.com/EventedMind/meteor-handlebars-server.git packages/handlebars-server

Usage

Any files with a .handlebars extension will be available as functions under the Handlebars.templates namespace.

The templates need to be accesible to the server (i.e. put them inside your /server directory).

The handlebars files should just be regular html. Don't wrap them in Meteor template tag.

Example:

my-template.handlebars

hello, {{name}}

my-server-code.js

Handlebars.templates['my-template']({name: 'Chris'});
// > hello, Chris

Helpers

You can define helpers on the server via OriginalHandlebars.registerHelper method.
