esbuild-plugin-handlebars

library1.0.3jsnpmunverified

An esbuild plugin that precompiles Handlebars templates during the build process. Current stable version is 1.0.3. It integrates with esbuild's plugin system to handle .hbs files, allowing you to bundle Handlebars templates into your output. Compared to other Handlebars loaders, it is lightweight and focused on esbuild, with options for additional helpers, partials, and precompile options. The package has a simple API and is published on npm with regular maintenance.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import handlebarsPlugin from 'esbuild-plugin-handlebars'

✗ const handlebarsPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-handlebars')

This package is ESM-only. Use import syntax or dynamic import().

handlebarsPlugin (as named import)

✓ import { handlebarsPlugin } from 'esbuild-plugin-handlebars'

✗ const { handlebarsPlugin } = require('esbuild-plugin-handlebars')

Named export available as alternative to default import.

HandlebarsOptions (type)

✓ import type { HandlebarsOptions } from 'esbuild-plugin-handlebars'

TypeScript users can import the options type for type safety.

Sets up esbuild with the Handlebars plugin, bundling a JavaScript entry point that imports .hbs templates.

import esbuild from 'esbuild'; import handlebarsPlugin from 'esbuild-plugin-handlebars'; await esbuild.build({ entryPoints: ['src/index.js'], outfile: 'dist/bundle.js', bundle: true, plugins: [handlebarsPlugin({ additionalHelpers: {}, additionalPartials: {}, precompileOptions: {} })], });
