Queries

build-in queries

The plugin has a few queries built-in. This allows you to use the queried result directly in your handlebar templates. For example you can use {{ page.title }} in any handlebars template without having to define that value yourself. You can override these in the bnomei.handlebars.queries option.

{{ site.title }}
{{ site.url }}
{{ page.autoid }}
{{ page.title }}
{{ page.text }}
{{ page.url }}
{{ page.slug }}
{{ page.template }}

automatic parsing of queries in all fields

You can also use queries when providing data from controllers or models. Further more any plain string will be parsed as a query. This allows you to write queries in textarea fields as well.
