hbars

0.1.7 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript deprecated

A shim repository for an HTMLBars template transpiler that uses a Haml-like syntax (Haml bars). The current version is 0.1.7, last updated in 2016. It is a niche tool for converting Haml-style templates into HTMLBars format for use with Ember.js or similar frameworks. No alternative comparison data is available due to low community adoption.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'hbars' ↓

cause Package not installed or typo in name.

fix

fix Use the main repo directly.

gotcha Package has not been updated since 2016; may not work with modern Node.js. ↓

fix Consider using an alternative template engine like Ember's built-in templating.
