In this section you will learn how to reuse Mustache templates in Handlebars.java

• partials

  A partial is a template that can be included into other template. Syntax is as follow:

  Support by: Handlebars.js Mustache.js Hogan.js
  header.hbs:

  <h1>{{title}}</h1>
  

  footer.hbs:

  <span>Powered by Handlebars.java</span>
  

  home.hbs:

  {{> header}}
  <p>Home page</p>
  {{> footer}}
  

  Output:

  <h1>Title</h1>
  <p>Home page</p>
  <span>Powered by Handlebars.java</span>
  

  Partials begin with a greater than sign, like {{> box}}.

  Partials are rendered at runtime (as opposed to compile time), so recursive partials are possible. Just avoid infinite loops.

• template inheritance

  Template inheritance can be done with block/partial syntax.

  Support by: Handlebars.js
  base.hbs:

  {{#block "header"}}
  <h1>Title</h1>
  {{/block}}
  
  {{#block "content"}}
  {{/block}}
  
  {{#block "footer" }}
  <span>Powered by Handlebars.java</span>
  {{/block}}
  

  home.hbs:

  {{#partial "content" }}
  <p>Home page</p>
  {{/partial}}
  
  {{> base}}
  

  Output:

  <h1>Title</h1>
  <p>Home page</p>
  <span>Powered by Handlebars.java</span>
