Allow hash to be passed via "partial"

[avr]

In Handlebars 3.0 you can pass parameters to a partial like this:

{{> photo image_size="100x100" class="pull-left" }}

I'd like to use the "partial" helper/keyword like this:

{{ partial "photo" image_size="100x100" class="pull-left" }}

From what I can tell, somewhere along the line in Template, the locals.hash property is getting dropped and not passed into the partial. Maybe it's also in engine-assemble. I think I've asked about mergeContext in another thread - I just can't seem to follow the renderTemplate path. Sorry!

I'm using assemble and would like to assemble.create various partial/layout types and use the keyword so that it's a little more obvious to other users what's going on.

This is possible, but will require some updates to our default helpers (e.g. {{partial}}). We've been refactoring template to make it easier to get templates ("views") and understand how the context is merged and presented in the templates. I think the options.hash will just be another context source that can be handled.

Cool - thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye on the changes here as you guys keep working on it.

As always - thanks for all the work you've done here and with Assemble.

@doowb seems like it should be possible to just override the built-in helper with a custom partial helper that merges the context however you want. right?

[doowb]

Yeah, you can just override it too.
