Handlebars AST to Template String

Description

This project converts a Converts Handlebars Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) back to template string with processing( optional).

Installation

npm install hbs-ast-to-str

Usage

with out any modification options

const {convertAstToString} = require('hbs-ast-to-str');
const ast = {
  /* Your Handlebars AST using Handlebars.parse(template_str)*/
};
const template = convertAstToString(ast);

with modification options

const {convertAstToString} = require('hbs-ast-to-str');

const ast = {
  /* Your Handlebars AST using Handlebars.parse(template_str)*/
};
const options: ModificationOptions = {
  helper: 'filter',
  paramType: HbsNodeTypes.SubExpression,
  paramPosition: 2,
  modifiers: [(d: string) => `'${d}'`],
};
const template = convertAstToString(ast, options);

API

convertAstToString(node: hbs.AST.Node | null, options: ModificationOptions): string

ModificationOptions Interface

The ModificationOptions interface is used to define a set of options for making modifications to a specific node or element in a Handlebars.js (Hbs) template. This interface is typically used in the context of custom Handlebars.js helpers or modifiers.

Interface Properties

• helper: A string that specifies the name of the helper function. This property is optional and can be used to associate a modification with a particular helper.

• paramType: An enumeration that represents the type of param that you want to modify. You can use HbsNodeType to specify the node type.

• paramPosition: An integer that specifies the position of the parameter you want to modify. This is useful when dealing with helper parameters.

• modifiers: An array of functions that define the modifications to be applied. Each function in the array should implement the logic for the modification.

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the ModificationOptions interface in TypeScript:

const options: ModificationOptions = {
  helper: 'customHelper',
  paramType: HbsNodeType.Block,
  paramPosition: 2,
  modifiers: [
    (parameterValue) => {
      // Implement your modification logic here.
      // Modify the 'parameterValue' as needed.
    },
    ...
  ],
};
