How to use comments in Handlebar templates?
I am using Handlebar.js as my templating engine. Now I want to comment out some of the blocks in my handlebar templates. But then I realized that Handlebar doesn't ignore the expressions inside the Handlebar comment block. Any workaround for this?
The newest version of Handlebars has block comments support :
{{!-- {{commented expressions}} --}}

Just add an exclamation mark after the opening brackets.
Normal Expression:
{{expressions}}
Commented Expression:
{{!expressions}}
Use this way in your handlebar template file.
<div class="entry">
{{!-- only output author name if an author exists --}}
{{#if author}}
<h1>{{author.firstName}} {{author.lastName}}</h1>
{{/if}}
</div>
The comments will not be in the resulting output. If you'd like the comments to show up, then use HTML comments.
<div class="entry">
{{! This comment will not be in the output }}
<!-- This comment will be in the output -->
</div>

Two ways to comment on handlebar.js
single component:
{{!fixedTop=true}} --> comments the whole content inside the brackets
Multiple component:
{{!--fixedTop=true
alignment=true--}} --> comments the whole content until end with "--"
