Handlebars v2.0

[phillipj]

Hi,

thanks for creating this module, I've been using it alot! This updates to handlebars v2.0. As its still in alpha you should probably not merge it just yet, hopefully a stable release will happen soon.

I'm using this version myself as I have the need to retrieve data from the root context in my templates. Support for retrieving data from root was added in v2.0.0-alpha.1 with this syntax {{@root.foo}}. Read more about it in issue handlebars-lang/handlebars.js#392.

Tip for anyone else who wants to test handlebars v2.0 in their projects:

$ npm install git://github.com/phillipj/express-hbs#feature/handlebars-2.0

@phillipj hinted at this in the PR, but in the future you probably don't want to update your module to use alpha versions of its dependencies. Since handlebars 2.0 is still in alpha/unstable, this module should now be considered unstable as well until handlebars 2.0.0 is released.

Agree @FredKSchott. I should be more careful. I assumed it had been released. This library allows the use of user installed handlebars via handlebars option

hbs.express3({
 ... 
 handlebars: "{Module} Use external handlebars instead of express-hbs dependency"
 );

no worries, its an easy thing to miss :)
