Features

✅ Image support
✅ Automatically scans your workspace folder(s) for partials
✅ Auto-refresh
✅ Generate context file from a template

Partials

Partials are automatically discovered and given names based off of the workspace folder root. So if these are the subfolders of the folder you've opened in VS Code:

.
└── 📁partials
    ├── 📁style
    │    └── dark.hbs
    └── footer.hbs

Then the two partials will be registered as partials/footer and partials/style/dark respectively.

Auto-refresh

Changes to Handlebars templates applied in real-time. Included partials need to be saved in order for the change to take effect.

Generate context file from template

Right-click on a handlebars file in the sidebar or on the editor tab and select Handlebars: Generate context file.

A new file named {yourfile}.json will be created and populated with sample data.

Current limitations of context generation:

🙁 Block parameters in each-constructs are not supported
🙁 Path segments (../) are currently not supported.

If you're using any of these features in your template, the resulting json will need some manual fixing.

Feel free to make a pull request if these limitations are bothering you.
