Rendering precompiled templates on the server, runtime export

[terrablue]

Hi, I'm trying to precompile a template at build time and then render it at runtime (the data could be different every time) on the server.

I'm currently using this code:

import handlebars from "handlebars";
import runtime from "./node_modules/handlebars/dist/handlebars.runtime.js";

await write_to_path("./precompiled.js", `export default ${handlebars.precompile("{{foo}}")}`);
import precompiled from "./precompiled.js";
console.log(runtime.template(precompiled)({foo: "bar"}));
// -> bar

This works perfectly for me, I was wondering if it were possible to expose the runtime per a package.json export, to avoid me reaching directly into the node_modules directory? Perhaps something like,

import {default as handlebars, runtime} from "handlebars";

await write_to_path("./precompiled.js", `export default ${handlebars.precompile("{{foo}}")}`);
import precompiled from "./precompiled.js";
console.log(runtime.template(precompiled)({foo: "bar"}));
// -> bar

Referencing #955, which seems to suggest a similar way, but does not specify how to get the runtime on the server.

You can't import both runtime and the full version in one import statement, but you can do this:

import handlebars from "handlebars";
import runtime from "handlebars/runtime";
