# `gulp-hb`

[![NPM version][npm-img]][npm-url] [![Downloads][downloads-img]][npm-url] [![Build Status][travis-img]][travis-url] [![Coverage Status][coveralls-img]][coveralls-url] [![Tip][amazon-img]][amazon-url]

A sane static [Handlebars][handlebars] Gulp plugin. Useful as a static site generator. Powered by [`handlebars-wax`][wax]. Think [Assemble][assemble], but with a lot less [Jekyll][jekyll] baggage.

To precompile templates into JavaScript, see [`gulp-handlebars`][gulp-handlebars].

## Install

```console
$ npm install --save-dev gulp-hb
```

## Usage

```js
const gulp = require('gulp');
const hb = require('gulp-hb');

// Basic

function basic() {
return gulp
.src('./src/{,posts/}*.html')
.pipe(hb()
.partials('./src/assets/partials/**/*.hbs')
.helpers('./src/assets/helpers/*.js')
.data('./src/assets/data/**/*.{js,json}')
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('./web'));
}

gulp.task('basic', basic);

// Advanced

function advanced() {
const hbStream = hb({ debug: true })
// Partials
.partials('./partials/components/**/*.{hbs,js}')
.partials('./partials/layouts/**/*.{hbs,js}')
.partials({
boo: '{{#each boo}}{{greet}}{{/each}}',
far: '{{#each far}}{{length}}{{/each}}'
})

// Helpers
.helpers(require('handlebars-layouts'))
.helpers('./helpers/**/*.js')
.helpers({
foo: function () { ... },
bar: function () { ... }
})

// Decorators
.decorators('./decorators/**/*.js')
.decorators({
baz: function () { ... },
qux: function () { ... }
})

// Data
.data('./data/**/*.{js,json}')
.data({
lorem: 'dolor',
ipsum: 'sit amet'
});

return gulp
.src('./src/{,posts/}*.html')
.pipe(hbStream)
.pipe(gulp.dest('./web'));
}

gulp.task('advanced', advanced);
```

### Template Context

The template context is a merge of pre-registered data and file-specific data. Pre-registered data is available to all templates and is set using the `.data()` method. File-specific data is available to the current template and is set via the [`file.data`](#file-specific-data-sources) property.

#### `@` Data Variables

##### @root

The merged object of pre-registered data and file-specific data is available as the primary context of your templates. In cases where accessing this data would require the use of `../`, you may access the top-level context via `@root`:

```handlebars
{{ foo }}
{{ @root.foo }}

{{#each bar}}
{{ ../foo }}
{{ @root.foo }}
{{/each}}
```

##### @global

In cases where file-specific data keys collide with pre-registered data keys, you may access the pre-registered data via `@global`:

```handlebars
{{ @global.foo }}
```

##### @local

In cases where pre-registered data should be ignored, you may access the file-specific data via `@local`.

```handlebars
{{ @local.foo }}
```

##### @file

In cases where information about the template file itself is needed, you may access the [file object][file] via `@file`:

```handlebars
{{ @file.path }}
```

#### File-specific Data Sources

File-specific data is set via the `file.data` property using other plugins such as [`gulp-data`][gulp-data], [`gulp-data-json`][gulp-data-json], or [`gulp-front-matter`][gulp-front-matter].

```js
const gulp = require('gulp');
const data = require('gulp-data');
const frontMatter = require('gulp-front-matter');
const hb = require('gulp-hb');

function inject() {
return gulp
.src('./src/*.html')

// Load an associated JSON file per post.
.pipe(data((file) => {
return require(file.path.replace('.html', '.json'));
}))

// Parse front matter from post file.
.pipe(frontMatter({
property: 'data.frontMatter'
}))

// Data for everyone.
.pipe(hb().data('./data/**/*.js'))

.pipe(gulp.dest('./web'));
}

gulp.task('inject', inject);
```

#### Multiple Data Sources

Multiple data sources can be used to render the same set of templates to different directories using [`through2`][through2].

```js
const gulp = require('gulp');
const hb = require('gulp-hb');
const through = require('through2');

function i18n() {
return gulp
.src('./i18n/*.json')
.pipe(through.obj((file, enc, cb) => {
const locale = file.stem;
const data = {
locale: locale,
i18n: JSON.parse(file.contents.toString())
};

gulp
.src('./templates/**/*.html')
.pipe(hb().data(data))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/' + locale))
.on('error', cb)
.on('end', cb);
}));
}

gulp.task('i18n', i18n);
```

## API

### `hb([options]): TransformStream`

- `options` `{Object}` (optional) Passed directly to [`handlebars-wax`][wax] so check there for more options.
- `bustCache` `{Boolean}` (default: `true`) Force reload data, partials, helpers, and decorators.
- `cwd` `{String}` (default: `process.cwd()`) Current working directory.
- `debug` `{Boolean|Number}` (default: `false` or `0`) Whether to log registered functions and data (`true` or `1`) and glob parsing (`2`).
- `handlebars` `{Handlebars}` (optional) A specific instance of Handlebars, if needed.
- `compileOptions` `{Object}` Options to use when compiling templates.
- `templateOptions` `{Object}` Options to use when rendering templates.
- `partials` `{String|Array.|Object|Function(handlebars)}`
- `parsePartialName` `{Function(options, file): String}`
- `helpers` `{String|Array.|Object|Function(handlebars)}`
- `parseHelperName` `{Function(options, file): String}`
- `decorators` `{String|Array.|Object|Function(handlebars)}`
- `parseDecoratorName` `{Function(options, file): String}`
- `data` `{String|Array.|Object}`
- `parseDataName` `{Function(options, file): String}`

Returns a Gulp-compatible transform stream that compiles [Handlebars][handlebars] templates to static output.

### .partials(pattern [, options]): TransformStream

- `pattern` `{String|Array|Object|Function(handlebars)}`
- `options` `{Object}` Same options as `hb()`.

Loads additional partials. See [`handlebars-wax`][wax].

### .helpers(pattern [, options]): TransformStream

- `pattern` `{String|Array|Object|Function(handlebars)}`
- `options` `{Object}` Same options as `hb()`.

Loads additional helpers. See [`handlebars-wax`][wax].

### .decorators(pattern [, options]): TransformStream

- `pattern` `{String|Array|Object|Function(handlebars)}`
- `options` `{Object}` Same options as `hb()`.

Loads additional decorators. See [`handlebars-wax`][wax].

### .data(pattern [, options]): TransformStream

- `pattern` `{String|Array|Object}`
- `options` `{Object}` Same options as `hb()`.

Loads additional data. See [`handlebars-wax`][wax].
