YA Handlebars Bundler

YA Handlebars Bundler is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed as a lightweight, standalone alternative to complex build tools like Webpack or Gulp for compiling Handlebars.js templates, partials, and helpers. The current stable version is 2.1.3. It operates by watching specified directories for changes, caching files in RAM, and recompiling only affected assets into a single JavaScript bundle. Key differentiators include its zero-setup nature, ability to monitor dynamically created files, and output bundles compatible with CommonJS (Node.js, Browserify), AMD (RequireJS), and direct browser inclusion without custom loaders. The tool also supports minification and mangling of the output, making it suitable for both development and production environments. It focuses on providing a streamlined templating workflow without the overhead of a full-fledged module bundler. The release cadence appears to be feature-driven rather than time-boxed, providing stability for users.
