Treating Handlebars as HTML files

[frangio]

I have a set of handlebars templates (*.hbs) that I would like to bundle exactly as if they were HTML files. The only difference is the extension. How can I achieve this? I tried the following configuration but the *.hbs file is just copied: none of the assets it references are being loaded.

{
  "extends": ["@parcel/config-default"],
  "transformers": {
    "*.hbs": ["@parcel/transformer-posthtml"]
  },
  "packagers": {
    "*.hbs": "@parcel/packager-html"
  }
}

Thank you.

This should work

{
  "extends": ["@parcel/config-default"],
  "transformers": {
    "*.hbs": ["@parcel/transformer-posthtml", "@parcel/transformer-html"]
  }
}

Awesome! That almost works. The .hbs file is emitted as an .html file. Is it possible to keep the extension?

Create an optimizer that sets bundle.type = 'hbs';. But this might cause a problem if you also have other HTML bundles that should actually stay html bundles
