Using Alpine with handlebars

[alexdohmen]

Hey, I am new to alpine and looking for an alternative to backbonejs w/ handlebars. The only requirement being handlebars.

Did anyone try to use alpine with handlebars?

It shouldn't be a problem:

• Alpine doesn't use any interpolation syntax eg. {{ }} so there won't be a clash there (Alpine would use x-text for example)
• Alpine watches for new components being dynamically inserted and initialises them (if you're using handlebars client-side)

ok, sounds promising

[HugoDF]

yep, Alpine was designed by Caleb to fit a niche for a simple way to add reactive JavaScript components to server-rendered applications (Laravel, Rails, Django etc) so handlebars (server-side) + Alpine should work great.

will give it a try, if I succeed will add it here
