rollup-plugin-handlebars

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

A Rollup plugin that compiles Handlebars templates (.hbs) to JavaScript functions during the bundling process. Version 1.0.0 is the latest stable release, published only once in 2017. It allows importing .hbs files directly as template functions, with support for Handlebars compile options. Key limitation: no longer maintained, incompatible with modern Rollup v2+, and no TypeScript support.

Verified usage

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

handlebars (default)

✓ import handlebars from 'rollup-plugin-handlebars';

✗ import { handlebars } from 'rollup-plugin-handlebars';

Plugin exports a default function; named import will not work.

handlebars (require)

✓ const handlebars = require('rollup-plugin-handlebars');

✗ const { handlebars } = require('rollup-plugin-handlebars');

CommonJS require returns the default export directly.

Handlebars runtime

✓ import Handlebars from 'handlebars';

✗ const Handlebars = require('handlebars');

When using ESM, import Handlebars runtime for any helpers or partials.

Demonstrates Rollup config with handlebars plugin and importing .hbs template as compiled function.

// rollup.config.js import handlebars from 'rollup-plugin-handlebars'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', output: { dir: 'dist', format: 'cjs' }, plugins: [ handlebars() ] }; // src/template.hbs <h1>{{title}}</h1> // src/index.js import tmpl from './template.hbs'; console.log(tmpl({ title: 'Hello' }));

Debug

Known issues

breakingPlugin only supports Rollup v0.x (pre-1.0). Not compatible with rollup >= 1.0 due to plugin API changes.

fix

Switch to @rollup/plugin-handlebars or use a different plugin.

affects: rollup >= 1.0

gotchaHandlebars runtime must be present in final bundle. Templates compile to functions that call Handlebars.runtime functions.

fix

Ensure handlebars is installed as a dependency (not devDependency) or externalize the runtime.

affects: >=0.0

deprecatedPlugin uses deprecated rollup-pluginutils package. Future Rollup breaking changes may cause failures.

fix

Migrate to an alternative that doesn't depend on rollup-pluginutils.

affects: >=0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

fix

Run `npm install rollup-plugin-handlebars --save-dev` (or yarn equivalent).
