Handlebars is a simple templating language that enables the efficient separation of logic and layout in a web application. It allows developers to create dynamic HTML by embedding expressions in their HTML templates. These expressions are evaluated at runtime, enabling the generation of HTML with dynamic content.

​
Key Features

  1. Logic-less Simplicity: Handlebars enforces a clear separation of concerns, promoting long-term maintainability of your code.
  2. Dynamic Content Rendering: Embed values, iterate over data, and even conditionally display blocks of HTML dynamically.
  3. Custom Helpers & Partials: Define reusable template logic or extend capabilities using custom helpers—no spaghetti templates here!
  4. Support for Internationalization: With built-in tools like partial blocks and helpers, creating multilingual templates (e.g., PDFs, reports) becomes much simpler.
