Support for multiple pages #9

Closed jshjohnson closed 7 years ago

jshjohnson commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Does this plugin support multiple pages? For example, the entry point would be a glob of Handlebar files and the output would be the directory for each of those compiled pages to go into?

Similar to how Assemble works.

Thanks

Hi jshjohnson.

Unfortunately, this plugin only accepts a single page as start file. You can still build multiple files via the environment variable, something like entry: process.env.page === 1 ? first.js : last.js or use multiple webpack configs (gag).

A more appropriate solution would be a handlebars-loader, which is currently not open source. I will add a note here as soon as its available.

@sagold isn't this opensource: https://github.com/altano/handlebars-loader?

sagold commented 7 years ago

@Dinistro The handlebars-loader https://github.com/altano/handlebars-loader does return a template string to perform rendering on the client-side. But this plugin creates the final html on server-side.

@jshjohnson At Süddeutsche Zeitung we rewrote the plugin as a loader, to support multiple handlebars-files which is now available here https://github.com/sueddeutsche/handlebars-render-loader.

Regards.
