Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Handlebars helpers which implement layout blocks similar to Jade, Jinja, Nunjucks, Swig, and Twig.

Install

With Node.js:

$ npm install handlebars-layouts

With Bower:

$ bower install shannonmoeller/handlebars-layouts

API

Helpers are generated by passing in your instance of Handlebars. This allows you to selectively register the helpers on various instances of Handlebars.

layouts(handlebars) : Object

  • handlebars Handlebars - An instance of Handlebars.

Generates an object containing the layout helpers suitible for passing into registerHelper.

var handlebars = require('handlebars'),
    layouts = require('handlebars-layouts');

handlebars.registerHelper(layouts(handlebars));

layouts.register(handlebars) : Object

  • handlebars Handlebars - An instance of Handlebars.

Both generates an object containing the layout helpers and registers them with Handlebars automatically.

var handlebars = require('handlebars'),
    layouts = require('handlebars-layouts');

layouts.register(handlebars);

Helpers

{{#extend [partial] [context] [key=value ...]}}

  • partial String - Name of partial to render.
  • context Object (Optional) - A custom context for the partial.
  • attributes Object (Optional) - Arbitrary values that will be added to the partial data context.

Loads a layout partial of a given name and defines block content.

{{#extend "layout" foo="bar"}}
    {{#content "title" mode="prepend"}}Example - {{/content}}
{{/extend}}

The {{#extend}} helper allows you to reason about your layouts as you would class extension where the above is equivalent to the following psuedo code:

class Page extends Layout {
    constructor() {
        this.foo = 'bar';
    }

    title() {
        return 'Example - ' + super();
    }
}

{{#embed [partial] [context] [key=value ...]}}

  • partial String - Name of partial to render.
  • context Object (Optional) - A custom context for the partial.
  • attributes Object (Optional) - Arbitrary values that will be added to the partial data context.

Allows you to load a partial which itself extends from a layout. Blocks defined in embedded partials will not conflict with those in the primary layout.

{{#extend "layout"}}

    {{#content "body"}}
        {{#embed "gallery"}}
            {{#content "body"}}
                <img src="1.png" alt="" />
                <img src="2.png" alt="" />
            {{/content}}
        {{/embed}}

        {{#embed "modal" foo="bar" name=user.fullName}}
            {{#content "title" mode="prepend"}}Image 1 - {{/content}}
            {{#content "body"}}<img src="1.png" alt="" />{{/content}}
        {{/embed}}
    {{/content}}

{{/extend}}

The {{#embed}} helper allows you to reason about your partials as you would class instantiation where the above is equivalent to the following psuedo code:

class Page extends Layout {
    body() {
        var gallery = new Gallery();

        gallery.replaceBody('<img src="1.png" alt="" />\n<img src="2.png" alt="" />');

        var modal = new Modal({
            foo: 'bar',
            name: this.user.fullName
        });

        modal.prependTitle('Image 1 - ');
        modal.replaceBody('<img src="1.png" alt="" />');

        return gallery.toString() + modal.toString();
    }
}

{{#block [name]}}

  • name String - Block identifier.

Defines a named block, with optional default content. Blocks may have content appended, prepended, or replaced entirely when extending or embedding. You may append and prepend to the same block multiple times.

{{#block "header"}}
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
{{/block}}

{{#block "main"}}
    <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
{{/block}}

{{#block "footer"}}
    <p>&copy; 1970</p>
{{/block}}

{{#content [name] mode="(append|prepend|replace)"}}

  • name String - Identifier of the block to modify.
  • mode String (Optional) - Means of providing block content. Default: replace.

Sets block content, optionally appending or prepending using the mode attribute.

Layout:

<html>
    ...
    <body>
        {{#block "header"}}
            <h1>Hello World</h1>
        {{/block}}

        {{#block "main"}}
            <p>Lorem ipsum.</p>
        {{/block}}

        {{#block "footer"}}
            <p>&copy; 1999</p>
        {{/block}}
    </body>
</html>

Page:

{{#extend "layout"}}

    {{#content "header"}}
        <h1>Goodnight Moon</h1>
    {{/content}}

    {{#content "main" mode="append"}}
        <p>Dolor sit amet.</p>
    {{/content}}

    {{#content "footer" mode="prepend"}}
        <p>MIT License</p>
    {{/content}}

{{/extend}}

Output:

<html>
    ...
    <body>
        <h1>Goodnight Moon</h1>

        <p>Lorem ipsum.</p>
        <p>Dolor sit amet.</p>

        <p>MIT License</p>
        <p>&copy; 1999</p>
    </body>
</html>

Conditional Blocks

There are times where you need to wrap a block with an element or use a different class depending on whether content has been provided for a block. For this purpose, the content helper may be called as a subexpression to check whether content has been provided for a block.

For example, you may wish to have an optional column in a grid layout:

{{!-- layout.hbs --}}
<div class="grid">
    <div class="grid-col {{#if (content "right")}}grid-col_2of3{{else}}grid-col_full{{/if}}">
        {{{block "left"}}}
    </div>
    {{#if (content "right")}}
        <div class="grid-col grid-col_1of3">
            {{{block "right"}}}
        </div>
    {{/if}}
</div>

For a page that only needs a left column, you may omit defining content for the right block:

{{!-- page.html --}}
{{#extend "layout"}}

    {{#content "left"}}
        <p>Left</p>
    {{/content}}

{{/extend}}

Resulting in:

<div class="grid">
    <div class="grid-col grid-col_full">
        <p>Left</p>
    </div>
</div>

For a page with two columns, simply define content for both blocks:

{{!-- page.html --}}
{{#extend "layout"}}

    {{#content "left"}}
        <p>Left</p>
    {{/content}}

    {{#content "right"}}
        <p>Right</p>
    {{/content}}

{{/extend}}

Resulting in:

<div class="grid">
    <div class="grid-col grid-col_2of3">
        <p>Left</p>
    </div>
    <div class="grid-col grid-col_1of3">
        <p>Right</p>
    </div>
</div>

Example

layout.hbs

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-us">
<head>
    {{#block "head"}}
        <title>{{title}}</title>

        <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/screen.css" />
    {{/block}}
</head>
<body>
    <div class="site">
        <div class="site-hd" role="banner">
            {{#block "header"}}
                <h1>{{title}}</h1>
            {{/block}}
        </div>

        <div class="site-bd" role="main">
            {{#block "body"}}
                <h2>Hello World</h2>
            {{/block}}
        </div>

        <div class="site-ft" role="contentinfo">
            {{#block "footer"}}
                <small>&copy; 2013</small>
            {{/block}}
        </div>
    </div>

    {{#block "foot"}}
        <script src="assets/js/controllers/home.js"></script>
    {{/block}}
</body>
</html>

page.html

{{#extend "layout"}}
    {{#content "head" mode="append"}}
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/home.css" />
    {{/content}}

    {{#content "body"}}
        <h2>Welcome Home</h2>

        <ul>
            {{#items}}
                <li>{{.}}</li>
            {{/items}}
        </ul>
    {{/content}}

    {{#content "foot" mode="prepend"}}
        <script src="assets/js/analytics.js"></script>
    {{/content}}
{{/extend}}

Putting Them Together

var handlebars = require('handlebars');
var layouts = require('handlebars-layouts');

// Register helpers
handlebars.registerHelper(layouts(handlebars));

// Register partials
handlebars.registerPartial('layout', fs.readFileSync('layout.hbs', 'utf8'));

// Compile template
var template = handlebars.compile(fs.readFileSync('page.html', 'utf8'));

// Render template
var output = template({
    title: 'Layout Test',
    items: [
        'apple',
        'orange',
        'banana'
    ]
});

console.log(output);

Output (prettified for readability)

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-us">
<head>
    <title>Layout Test</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/screen.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/home.css" />
</head>
<body>
    <div class="site">
        <div class="site-hd" role="banner">
            <h1>Layout Test</h1>
        </div>

        <div class="site-bd" role="main">
            <h2>Welcome Home</h2>
            <ul>
                <li>apple</li>
                <li>orange</li>
                <li>banana</li>
            </ul>
        </div>

        <div class="site-ft" role="contentinfo">
            <small>&copy; 2013</small>
        </div>
    </div>
