Express Handlebars Change History

3.0.0 (2016-01-26)

  • Upgraded to Handlebars 4.0. ([#142][])

2.0.1 (2015-04-23)

  • Guarded against unexpected Handlebars API change that was released in a patch. (#125)

2.0.0 (2015-03-22)

  • [!] Upgraded to Handlebars 3.0 by default, but still works with Handlebars 2.x by using the handlebars config option. (#105)

  • [!] Removed using prototype properties for default config values. The default values are now embedded in the constructor. (#105)

  • [!] Removed handlebarsVersion instance property and getHandlebarsSemver() static function on the ExpressHandlebars constructor. (#105)

  • [!] Replaced undocumented compileTemplate() hook with the protected but supported _compileTemplate() and _precompileTemplate() hooks. (#95)

  • Fixed layout path resolution on Windows. (#113 @Tineler)

  • Added compilerOptions config property which is passed along to Handlebars.compile() and Handlebars.precompile(). (#95)

  • Exposed Express Handlebars metadata to the data channel during render. This metadata is accessible via {{@exphbs.*}} (#89, #101)

  • Added new "protected" hooks for AOP-ing template compilation and rendering, all of which can optionally return a Promise: (#105)

    • _compileTemplate()
    • _precompileTemplate()
    • _renderTemplate()

1.2.2 (2015-03-06)

  • Upgraded glob dependency to v5 which now officially supports symlinks via the new follow option. (#98)

1.2.1 (2015-02-17)

  • Locked down glob dependency to a v4 version range that is known to work with this package and support symlinks. The glob version can be updated when isaacs/node-glob#139 is resolved. (#98 @adgad)

1.2.0 (2015-02-17)

  • Added support for render-level partials to be specified when calling renderView() (which is the method Express calls). The options.partials value matches what Handlebars accepts during template rendering: it should have the shape {partialName: fn} or be a Promise for such an object. (#82)

1.1.0 (2014-09-14)

  • [!] Upgraded Handlebars to 2.0.0 final, it was beta before.

  • Added support for partialsDir to be configured with a collection (or promise for a collection) of templates, via the new templates prop in partialDir config objects. This allows developers to hand Express Handlebars the compiled partials templates to use for a specific partials dir. (#81 @joanniclaborde)

  • Upgraded Promise dependency.

1.0.3 (2014-09-05)

  • Fixed issue with namespaced partials dirs not actually being namespaces. (#76 @inerte)

1.0.2 (2014-09-05)

  • Fixed engines entry in package.json to Node >=0.10 to reflect this package's requirements. (#78)

1.0.1 (2014-08-08)

  • Fixed bug where rendered content was only be returned if a layout template was being used. Now a layout-less render will actually return content. (#73)

1.0.0 (2014-08-07)

  • [!] Renamed to: express-handlebars. (#65)

  • [!] Rewritten to use Promises instead of async for asynchronous code. (#68) This resulted in the following public API changes:

    • loadPartials() --> getPartials(), returns a Promise.
    • loadTemplate() --> getTemplate(), returns a Promise.
    • loadTemplates() --> getTemplates(), returns a Promise.
    • render(file, context, [options]), returns a Promise.

  • partialsDir can now be set with an array of objects in the following form to support namespaced partials: (#70 @joanniclaborde)

    { dir: 'foo/bar/', namespace: 'bar' }

  • Added support for Handlebars' data channel via options.data. (#62)

  • Added compileTemplate() hook for the pre/post compile process, this also supports returning a Promise. (#39, #41)

  • Added _renderTemplate() hook that supports returning a Promise. (#39, #41)

  • Upgraded all dependencies, including Handlebars to 2.x. (#59)

  • Added graceful-fs dependency to support large numbers of files to avoid EMFILE errors.

  • Reduced complexity of cache code.

  • Updated examples to each be self-contained and have package.json files.

0.5.1 (2014-08-05)

  • [!] Last release before v1.0 which will have breaking changes.

  • Improved extname docs in README and added example. (#30 @Crashthatch)

  • extname can now be specified without the leading ".". (#51 @calvinmetcalf)

0.5.0 (2013-07-25)

  • Added loadTemplates() method which will load all the templates in a specified directory. (#21)

  • Added support for multiple partials directories. This enables the partialsDir configuration property to be specified as an array of directories, and loads all of the templates in each one.

    This feature allows an app's partials to be split up in multiple directories, which is common if an app has some shared partials which will also be exposed to the client, and some server-side-only partials. (#20)

  • Added runnable code examples in this package's "examples/" directory. (#22)

  • Improved optional argument handling in public methods to treat Express locals function objects as options and not callback params to the method being invoked. (#27)

0.4.1 (2013-04-06)

  • Updated async dependency to the latest stable minor version: "~0.2".

0.4.0 (2013-03-24)

  • [!] Removed the following "get" -> "load" aliases which kept in v0.2.0 for back-compat:

    • getPartials() -> loadPartials()
    • getTemplate() -> loadTemplate()

    This is the future version where these aliases have been removed.

  • [!] Renamed lib/express3-handlebars.js -> lib/express-handlebars.js.

  • Exposed getHandlebarsSemver() function as a static property on the ExpressHandlebars constructor.

  • Rearranged module exports by moving the engine factory function to index.js, making the lib/express3-handlebars.js module only responsible for exporting the ExpressHandlebars constructor.

0.3.3 (2013-03-22)

  • Updated internal _resolveLayoutPath() method to take the full options/locals objects which the view is rendered with. This makes it easier to override. (#14)

0.3.2 (2013-02-20)

  • Transfered ownership and copyright to Yahoo! Inc. This software is still free to use, and is now licensed under the Yahoo! Inc. BSD license.

0.3.1 (2013-02-18)

  • Updated README with info about options.helpers for render() and renderView() docs. (#7)

0.3.0 (2013-02-18)

  • Added support for render-level helpers, via options.helpers, to the render() and renderView() methods. Handlebars' registerHelper() function now works as expected and does not have to be called before the ExpressHandlebars instance is created. Helpers are now merged from: handlebars.helpers (global), helpers (instance), and options.helpers (render-level) before a template is rendered; this provides flexibility at all levels. (#3, #11)

  • Added handlebarsVersion property which is the version number of handlebars as a semver. This is used internally to branch on certain operations which differ between Handlebars releases.

0.2.3 (2013-02-13)

  • Fixed issue with naming nested partials when using the latest version of Handlebars (1.0.rc.2). Previous versions require a hack to replace "/"s with "."s in partial names, and the latest version of Handlebars fixes that bug. This hack will only be applied to old versions of Handlebars. (#9)

0.2.2 (2013-02-04)

  • Updated README with the public method renames which happened v0.2.0.

0.2.1 (2013-02-04)

  • extname, layoutsDir, and partialsDir property values will now reference the values on the prototype unless an ExpressHandlebars instance is constructed with config values for these properties.

  • Improved clarity of method implementations, and exposed more override "hooks" via new private methods: _getPartialName(), _renderTemplate(), and _resolveLayoutPath().

0.2.0 (2013-02-01)

  • [!] Renamed methods prefixed with "get" to "load" for clarity:

    • getPartials() -> loadPartials()
    • getTemplate() -> loadTemplate()

    Aliases for these methods have been created to maintain back-compat, but the old method names are now deprecated will be removed in the future. (#5)

  • All paths are resolved before checking in or adding to caches. (#1)

  • Force {precompiled: false} option within render() and renderView() methods to prevent trying to render with precompiled templates. (#2)

0.1.2 (2013-01-10)

  • Tweaked formatting of README documentation.

0.1.1 (2013-01-10)

  • Added README documentation.

0.1.0 (2013-01-07)

  • Initial release.
