I am using both Twig and Handlebars.js, and was running into conflicts. I found two solutions. Is one considered more proper than the other, or is there a third more appropriate solution? If my Option 1 is used, are there any recommended naming standards to associate the handlebars template to the twig template?
Option 1 using twig source
my_twig_template1.html
{% block content %}
<h1>Hello</h1>
<p>{{ someTwigPhpVar }}</p>
{{ source('my_handlebars_template1.html') }}
{% endblock %}
my_handlebars_template1.html
<script id="my-handlebars-item-1" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{someHandleBarVariable}}
</script>
<script id="my-handlebars-item-2" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{someHandleBarVariable}}
</script>
Option 2 using twig verbatim
my_twig_template2.html
{% block content %}
<h1>Hello</h1>
<p>{{ someTwigPhpVar }}</p>
{% verbatim %}
<script id="my-handlebars-item-1" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{someHandleBarVariable}}
</script>
<script id="my-handlebars-item-2" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{someHandleBarVariable}}
</script>
{% endverbatim %}
{% endblock %}
I don't know if there's a general preference, but both look okay to me. I would prefer option 2 when there's just a few lines of Handlebars code and option 1 in other cases (with big sections of Handlebars code). I would put the Handlebars files (option 1) into a folder called handlebars/, so that you have handlebars/template1.html etc.
Another option is to use a variable expression to output the variable delimiters ({{ and }}, as described in the documentation section about escaping) or the whole Handlebars expression:
{% block content %}
<h1>Hello</h1>
<p>{{ someTwigPhpVar }}</p>
<script id="my-handlebars-item-1" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{ '{{' }} someHandleBarVariable {{ '}}' }}
</script>
<script id="my-handlebars-item-2" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
{{ '{{someHandleBarVariable}}' }}
</script>
{% endblock %}
This is handy if you are outputting just a couple of Handlebars variables so this will be more concise than having a separate file or using the verbatim tag.
