What This Adds In Cloud Code

• Alternative templating style to EJS.
• Useful when migrating existing Handlebars templates into Cloud Code.
• Supports helper registration and precompiled patterns.

Quick Start

const Handlebars = require('handlebars');
const template = Handlebars.compile('Hi {{name}}');
const output = template({ name: 'Alice' });

API

Exposes the standard Handlebars object (compile/runtime helpers).

Practical Example

const Handlebars = require('handlebars');
const Mail = require('mail');

const render = Handlebars.compile('<p>Hello {{first_name}}</p>');
Mail.send({
  to: request.params.email,
  subject: 'Welcome',
  html: render({ first_name: request.params.first_name }),
  text: `Hello ${request.params.first_name}`
});

Failure Modes & Gotchas

• Missing helper registrations can break render output.
• Keep templates deterministic for easier testing.
