Dynamic Partials

Dynamically render a partial within a handlbars template

Allows us to conditionally reference component handlebars templates by registering a handlebars partial file, and providing a helper for dynamically including that template file.

Install

$ npm install @springernature/util-dynamic-partial

Usage

context.json

{
  "dynamicPartials": {
    "partialName": "./path/to/partialName.hbs"
  }
}

Javascript

const Handlebars = require('handlebars');
const dynamicPartials = require('@springernature/util-dynamic-partial');
const config = require('./context.json');

// Register all dynamic partials
(async () => {
  try {
    await dynamicPartials(Handlebars, config.dynamicPartials);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

HTML (handlebars)

<h2>Include the dynamic partial below</h2>
{{> partialName }}
