Templating Engines

Note

These docs assume you’ve read Building Templates first.

A single produce() function generally doesn’t scale well beyond small straightforward repositories. Templates generally end up using one or more template systems for defining files.

Bingo maintains two first-party templates:

1. Handlebars: allows defining files as handlebars templates. Generally recommended for straightforward templates that have more than a half dozen files.
2. Stratum: a rich system to define each feature of a template as an independent “Blocks”. Recommended for templates that want to allow rich logic and/or multiple starting presets.

You don’t have to use these engines. You can always use a single produce() function or build your own wrappers around Bingo. These templating engines exist as a suggested convenience.
