Usage
Usage with Handlebar template strings
To invoke the converter using a string containing a handlebars template use
const path = require('path')
const asciidoctor = require('asciidoctor')()
const TemplateConverter = require('asciidoc-converter-handlebars')
const baseConverter = asciidoctor.Html5Converter.create()
// Instantiate the tempalte here
let converter = new TemplateConverter(baseConverter)
// let the template listen to the 'document' node name with the
// given template string
const templateString =
'<html><head><title>{{attributes.doctitle}}</title></head></html>'
converter.addTemplate('document', templateString)
// register the converter
asciidoctor.ConverterFactory.register(converter, ['html5'])
// convert the file
const result = asciidoctor.convertFile(
path.join(__dirname, '<FILE_NAME>'),
{ to_file: false, header_footer: true } // any AsciiDoctor option you need
)Usage with Handlebar template files
To invoke the converter using a Handlebar template written in a file
const path = require('path')
const asciidoctor = require('asciidoctor')()
const TemplateConverter = require('asciidoc-converter-handlebars')
const baseConverter = asciidoctor.Html5Converter.create()
// Instantiate the tempalte here
let converter = new TemplateConverter(baseConverter)
// let the template listen to the 'document' node name with
// the template stored in the given file
converter.addTemplateFile(
'document',
path.join(__dirname, '<YOUR PATH GOES HERE>')
)
// register the converter
asciidoctor.ConverterFactory.register(converter, ['html5'])
// convert the file
const result = asciidoctor.convertFile(
path.join(__dirname, '<FILE_NAME>'),
{ to_file: false, header_footer: true } // any AsciiDoctor option you need
)Usage with a directory containing Handlebar templates
If you are too lazy to add every single template you need by invoking
addTemplateFile(), place all your template files in a directory. Then
you only have to call addTemplateDirectory() once, to add all
template files.
The name of the template file without the extension will be used as the node name you want to listen to.
For example document.hbs will be called for the node name document, section.hbs' for the node namesection`.
const path = require('path')
const asciidoctor = require('asciidoctor')()
const TemplateConverter = require('asciidoc-converter-handlebars')
const baseConverter = asciidoctor.Html5Converter.create()
// Instantiate the tempalte here
let converter = new TemplateConverter(baseConverter)
// compile and add the templates stored in the given directory
converter.addTemplateDirectory(
path.join(__dirname, '<YOUR DIRECTORY PATH GOES HERE>')
)
// register the converter
asciidoctor.ConverterFactory.register(converter, ['html5'])
// convert the file
const result = asciidoctor.convertFile(
path.join(__dirname, '<FILE_NAME>'),
{ to_file: false, header_footer: true } // any AsciiDoctor option you need
