I want to read all .hbs files and render them

[vanhoutenbos]

Hi,

I am a bit confused, normally in handlebars (using javascript etc.) I can just let the views be rendered based on the standard folder structure.
Here it seems like I need to copy & paste all HTML to the C# code which seems a bit much so I must be missing something!

I am wondering how I can read all source and templates from the image below and render them as HTML

I don't think that's right. Handlebars doesn't have any notion of files or folders. If you check out the handlebars documentation you won't see any reference to views or folders. There are frameworks and view engines that use handlebars as their templating language - the experience you're describing, you must have been using one of those. There are some equivalent view engines out there for c# that use this library as their core engine. Without knowing more about your application architecture or requirements, I can't recommend a specific one, but hopefully that gets you started.

Thank you Rex! That sounds like that it what I was using before.

Maybe you can advice me on which library to use.
We are creating an azure function that generates a resume based on JSON Resume.
I tried porting their cli to a azure function but without success so I am planning on using handlebars + headless puppeteer for a pdf generated resume.
The pages, css and images are static only the JSON is variable.

I don't know about that. If I were you I'd probably use embedded resources to let me keep the templates as individual files in source but compile them into the application as strings.

Thank you for your suggestions, I will investigate!
