What do you like best about handlebars?

I most like about handlebars is its ease of use.

I can write the logic in the template.

It's very easy to use, just throw JSON data, and it will implement, its same as HTML Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about handlebars?

You need to learn its own thing, like its rendering object and about lookup syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is handlebars solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use handlebars for rendering the template based on JSON data.

For example, if I want to render Li, I need to provide an array with the object or any data; in the handlebar, just loop it and use the key-value or element to show li.

It will create Li based on array length. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about handlebars?

almost standard template library, handlebars made it easier for me build vanillaJS app the right way,

It was easy to convert most of my components from the standard html/js+jquery templates into handlebars with mustache templates, this made my code cleaner, my files size decreased and code is more maintainable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about handlebars?

handlebars still miss some standardization to make it compatible with other template systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering handlebars:

Handlebars is best choice for building heavy template based frontend apps, the easiest to adopt and implement with minimal changes to your html files/templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is handlebars solving and how is that benefiting you?

I build frontend apps every day, and the technologies I use vary from angular, vueJS React, and for sure vanillaJS, all the previous technologies make it easier to separate logic from styling, except vanillaJS which require more effort to code neat and clean code, Handlebars made this easier to me by simply providing this missing part of the html binding to JS code, easy, clean and efficiently perform on browser.

What do you like best about handlebars?

I like that its an easy to use program with many different features that are available to the user. I felt it made writing code much simpler that most programs of the same nature. I also like how it was apart from the java script I was using at the time. I also like how simple it was to add to my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about handlebars?

There isn't anything that I disliked about the program I just didn't really need it any more. I'm a little new at code and the simpler the better. I just felt like it was something my new company could live without till I grow it a bit more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering handlebars:

I love the product, I just feel like my company is not at the right level right now. Being its only myself I feel like it was needed for me but the product itself is great and very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is handlebars solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wasn't really solving a problem but looking for new useful programs. I like how it has a larger community of users and how I can write a cleaner code using this product. I liked how I could use java script programing along side it also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about handlebars?

Handlebars.js can only be used for Javascript, but there are many bindings/library built for other languages (including Ruby, Java, and Php), so no matter what your stack is, you can incorporate handlebars templating. The templating language itself is also extremely flexible: you can register partials, define helper functions, use decorators. It primarily ingests JSON, which almost all modern applications use anyway. So overall, I'd say it's super easy to integrate handlebars templating into any product built in the past 10 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about handlebars?

The documentation is a bit sparse. It's also a little difficult to understand for non-technical users, as it's a bit difficult to escape and there are many subtleties around helper functions and path expressions. I know this as the product I work on exposes handlebar templates to non-technical customers and they frequently get confused on how to use it and will write invalid handlebar templates, even though we have a clear documentation page for them to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is handlebars solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problem I solve with handlebars is email templating: allowing marketers to parameterize their emails using email template. E.g. they'll use {{firstName}} to fill in the contact's first name, or {{unsubscribeLink}} to auto generate the unsubscribe link for that user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used handlebars with Ember. It worked well. I absolutely had no complaints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about handlebars?

I don't have any complaints, however most frameworks want to control their own templating, so Handlebars just don't seem as applicable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is handlebars solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was used for templating within our javascript framework. It worked well for that purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
