handlebars-ramda-helpers

Provide powerful data processing capabilities for handlebars, by adding the ramda function as helpers.

Usage

Adding r__ before the ramda function name is the handlebars helpers name. Let see an example:

import * as Handlebars from 'handlebars'
import * as HandlebarsRamdaHelpers from 'handlebars-ramda-helpers'

// register helpers before compile
HandlebarsRamdaHelpers.register(Handlebars)


const view = {
  books: [
    { type: 'computer', name: 'C Primer Plus', price: 10 },
    { type: 'computer', name: 'An Introduction to Programming in Go', price: 20 },
    { type: 'computer', name: 'Javascript the definitive guide', price: 100 },
    { type: 'comic', name: 'One Piece', price: 100 },
  ]
}

const template = `
I have a lot of books:

{{~r__define 'divide' (r__compose (r__join '')  (r__repeat '-'))}}

{{r__padRight 40 ' ' 'bookName'}} | bookPrice
{{divide 40}} | {{divide 10}}
{{#each books}}
{{r__padRight 40 ' ' name}} | {{r__padRight 10 ' ' price}}
{{/each}}

{{r__define 'priceList' (r__pluck 'price' books)}}
The total value of these books is approx {{r__sum priceList}}.

I have {{r__count (r__propEq 'type' 'comic') books}} comic books and {{r__count (r__propEq 'type' 'computer') books}} computer books.
`


Handlebars.compile(template)(view)

The Output:

I have a lot of books:

bookName                                 | bookPrice
---------------------------------------- | ----------
C Primer Plus                            | 10
An Introduction to Programming in Go     | 20
Javascript the definitive guide          | 100
One Piece                                | 100


The total value of these books is approx 230.

I have 1 comic books and 3 computer books.

Extension

In order to facilitate the use of ramda in handlebars, some extension functions have been added.

Helpers

name | description :-----------------|:--------------------------- r__define | Define a variable on context {{r__define "variableName" "variableValue"}} r__Array | Create an array {{r__Array "0" "1" "2"}} r__Object | Create an object{{r__Object "key1"="value1" "key2"="value2"}}` r__isObject | R.is(Object) r__isNumber | R.is(Number) r__isString | R.is(String) r__isArray | R.is(Array) r__isFunction | R.is(Function) r__isBoolean | R.is(Boolean) r__isTrue | R.identical(R.T()) r__isFalse | R.identical(R.F()) r__allIs | R.useWith(R.all, [R.is, R.identity]) r__allIsObject | R.all(R.is(Object)) r__allIsNumber | R.all(R.is(Number)) r__allIsString | R.all(R.is(String)) r__allIsArray | R.all(R.is(Array)) r__allIsFunction | R.all(R.is(Function)) r__allIsBoolean | R.all(R.is(Boolean)) r__allIsTrue | R.all(R.identical(R.T())) r__allIsFalse | R.all(R.identical(R.F())) r__padLeft | R.curry((fillString, maxLength, str) => String(str).padStart(maxLength, fillString)) r__padRight | R.curry((fillString, maxLength, str) => String(str).padEnd(maxLength, fillString))

If a function was defined by {{r__define "fn" (r__equals "example")}}, the fn should be used like an helper, rather than a variable.

Error: {{r__all fn (r__Array "example" "example")}}

Correct:{{r__all (fn) (r__Array "example" "example")}}

Block Helpers

name | description :-----------------|:--------------------------- r__define | Define a variable on context {{#r__define "variableName"}}"variableValue"{{/r__define}} r__toUpper | R.toUpper r__toLower | R.toLower r__trim | R.trim

All block helpers can use as non-block helper
