Problem with custom delimiters migration #33
Description
In Mustache, it was possible to set custom delimiters. Example (source):
{{ default_tags }}
{{=<% %>=}}
<% erb_style_tags %>
<%={{ }}=%>
{{ default_tags_again }}
Explanation:
- On the first and last line the default delimiters
{{and}}are used. - Line 2 indicates that
<%and%>should be used instead of{{and}}. - Line 3 uses the custom delimiters
- Line 4 indicates that
{{and}}should be set instead of<%and%>.
This do not seems to work with handlebars. This stackoverflow question propose an alternative to escape { and } in handlebar: {{"{"}} and {{"}"}}.
Example in swagger templates (example from /modules/swagger-codegen/src/main/htmlDocs2/sample_js.mustache).
Mustache:
...some text.. {{=< >=}}{<&dataType>}<={{ }}=> .. and more .......
But this does'nt work with handlebar java:
...some text.. {{"{"}}{{&dataType}}{{"}"}} .. and more .......

The solution needs to be documented here: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/wiki/Swagger-Codegen-migration-from-Mustache-and-Handlebars-templates.#custom-delimiters

I do not know how handlebars works, but maybe it is possible to use a constant referenced somewhere:

we can also add a new helper class to that and dealing the issue from java code. wdyt @jmini ?

I am fine with any solution. I do not know mustache or handlebars well enough in order to have a meaningfull opinion.
I would apreciate if you could prepare the necessary infrastrure (or provide a detailed explanation on how helper class works).
Issue #33: added braces helper.

@jmini i added a new helper to address this, can you please check if it works as expected?
in your last example you just need to use:
{{braces "left"}}{{&dataType}}{{braces "right"}}jmini commentedon Mar 15, 2018
This works as expected! Thank you.
I could migrate the
html2Codegen using this construct (see #41).Wiki page will be updated with the solution.
