Handlebars Webpack Plugin

The `handlebars-webpack-plugin` is a webpack plugin designed for server-side template rendering using the Handlebars templating engine during the build process. It enables developers to compile Handlebars templates (including main templates, partials, and helpers) and inject dynamic data at webpack build time, resulting in static HTML files. The current stable version, 2.2.1, focuses on providing a robust mechanism for generating static HTML with Handlebars. Its release cadence is primarily driven by maintenance and feature enhancements. Key differentiators include its deep integration with the webpack build lifecycle, support for glob patterns for straightforward inclusion of multiple templates and helpers, and a comprehensive set of hooks to customize its behavior at various stages of compilation and rendering. It is frequently used in conjunction with `html-webpack-plugin` to manage the overall HTML output and asset injection.
