Learn how to create a Handlebars block helper that adds an index to each iteration without polluting your data model.
Stop fighting Handlebars' logic-less constraints. Learn how to use custom simple and block helpers to handle formatting and conditional rendering while avoiding XSS and double-escaping bugs.
An architecture note on the smallest safe Handlebars setup: precompiled templates, escaped-by-default output, pure helpers, and the checks that confirm the trust boundaries hold.
Learn how to move Handlebars template compilation from the browser to the build step to reduce JavaScript payload size and improve page load performance.
Ghost gates content server-side with Handlebars helpers while Stripe owns the payments, synced by webhooks. Here's how the pieces fit, how to verify them, and where the limits are.
Shipping the full Handlebars compiler to the browser costs startup time and opens a template-injection path. Precompiling moves that work to the build — here's what changes for helpers, partials, and security.
Handlebars block helpers let you control how often a template fragment renders and with what context. A worked repeat-helper example shows options.fn, inverse blocks, SafeString, and the pitfalls to avoid.
Ghost 4.x and 5.x emit canonical, description and Open Graph tags automatically — but only if the theme's head helper is present. This guide covers site-wide defaults, per-post overrides, and verifying the rendered head with curl and Lighthouse.
Handlebars escapes by default with {{ }} but allows raw output via {{{ }}}. This guide shows how to enforce a secure-by-default architecture: restrict triple-stash to audited SafeString helpers, define trust boundaries, and add operational checks that catch misuse before production.
