InsteadofcallingHandlebars.render()youcouldcallHandlebars.compile()andthencallthe

resultingfunction.

Example: var myFunction = Handlebars.compile( "snippets/policy-

info.hbs", record);

let html = myFunction( record );

results.replaceWith( html )

UsingHandlebarstemplates:examples

Rendering a Handlebars template repeatedly

Thisscriptloopsoveradetailtable,eachtimepassingdifferentdatatothesameHandlebarstemplate.

let policies = record.tables.Policies;

let html = '';

for( var i = 0; i < policies.length; i++) {

{html += Handlebars.render( 'snippets/policy.hbs', policies[i] );

}

results.replaceWith( html );

Selecting a Handlebars template based on a data field

AnapproachthatisalsousedwithHTMLsnippetsistousethevalueofadatafieldinthecurrent

recordtodeterminethenameoftheHandlebarstemplatetouse.

Thisisanexample:

let html = ''

let policydata = record.tables.Policy

for (var i=0; i < policydata.length; i++) {

let templateName = 'snippets/' + policydata[i].fields['snippetName'] + '.hbs'

html += Handlebars.render( templateName, policydata[i] )

}

results.replaceWith( html );
