Review on handlebars by Matt Larsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A powerful framework with great potential

I like how easy it is for me as an amateur user of HandlebarJS (a mustache template language) - which was my first attempt at writing JS templating in nodejs! The main thing that i dislike about this library/framework however would be its dependency management system; there's not much documentation out-there regarding best practices when using such frameworks so if your planning on doing large projects then make sure u know what ur getting into beforehand :) Also try building up some boilerplate code before trying something new by yourself because sometimes things are easier than they seem but also very different from other libraries or tools available online ;) Its good enought tool overall though since most people will use js only anyways :D And yes we love our mustaches tooo!! We have used both express & habariJs together successfully while working through project requirements where each one has been helpful separately even tho their.

Pros
  • Simple
  • No learning curve necessary to start developing with them, unlike angular etc.
  • Easy integration possible between templates&code logic making development time shorter compared wth similar technologies(like meteor)
  • Supports rendering HTML directly instead having unnecessary overheads due tto extra html tags required
Cons
  • Nothing
