Templates

Handlebars/Mustache

• Automatically insert closing tag:
  • When this checkbox is selected, JetBrains Rider automatically inserts the second closing curly brace (}) of a Handlebars expression as soon as you type the first closing one.

    JetBrains Rider also recognizes triple stashes ({{{) that prevent escaping values inside expressions. In this case, JetBrains Rider automatically inserts two closing curly braces as soon as you type the first closing one.

  • When this check box is cleared, you have to type the closing curly braces and triple stashes manually.

• Enable formatting:

  • Select this checkbox to have Handlebars expressions and Mustache templates automatically reformatted during code generation, refactoring, or reformatting (Ctrl+Alt+Enter).

  • Clear the checkbox to have the original formatting of Handlebars expressions and Mustache templates preserved.

• Open HTML files as Handlebars/Mustache:

  • When this checkbox is selected, files with the .html extension are treated as Handlebars/Mustache files so JetBrains Rider recognizes and processes Handlebars expressions and Mustache templates. The extensions of files remain unchanged but file names are supplied with the icons.

  • When this checkbox is cleared only files with the .hbs extension are treated as Handlebars/Mustache files and Handlebars expressions and Mustache templates within them are recognized and processed.

• Language for comments: From this drop-down list, choose the language to use the style for comments from. When you enter a line or block comment by pressing Ctrl+Alt+/ or Ctrl+Shift+/, JetBrains Rider inserts the comment delimiters that are used in the chosen language, for example:

  • {{!----}} for Handlebars

  • /**/ for JavaScript

  • <!----> for HTML

The area is only available when the Handlebars/Mustache plugin is installed and enabled. The plugin is not bundled with JetBrains Rider, but it can be installed from the JetBrains plugin repository as described in Managing Plugins.
