A handlebars.js like templating engine optimized for php.

1. Snidely works with simple arrays as data and is not meant to work with complex objects.

1. When including a partial mustache will indent that entire partial. Snidely just includes the partial without indenting it.

1. When looping through an array with a {{#section}} or {{#each}}, Snidely always assigns a value to @key even when looping over a numeric array.

2. Handlebars.js can output arrays by concatenating all of the elements with a ",". Snidely won't do this. Use the {{join array sep=","}} helper to do this in Snidely.

3. Some values such as boolean true and false output differently in php and javascript. Don't depend on a particular format for booleans in your template. Use the {{iif bool "true" "false"}} to specifically format booleans.

4. Snidely templates are built up using php's echo and output buffering. When adding helper functions this must be taken into consideration.

   • Inline helpers wrapped in {{ }} or {{{ }}} should return their results as a string.
   • Block level helpers should echo out their results. If you want to manipulate the content of a block helper before displaying it then you should capture it using ob_begin() and ob_get_clean().

5. The this data will always refer to the current context even if your data contains an key named "this". If you need to refer to the "this" key then use {{./this}}.

6. Handlebars.js has an odd behavior where wrapping a value of 0 in a {{#with}} will result in any child expressions returning a 0 instead of an empty string.
