Binding json to Handlebar.Net

****Edit 09/01**** Just to clarify, you don't need to use JSON.Net or any other utility to convert the objects below to JSON. Handlebars.Net does that for you, based on the class properties.

.

****Original****

public class Server
{
    public string Name {get;set;}
    public int CpuUsage {get;set;}
    public int RamUsage {get;set;}
}

public class HandlebarsJson
{
    public int Threshold {get;set;}
    public List<Server> ListOfServers {get;set;}
}

Modifying your code above:

    var template = Handlebars.Compile(source);
    var data = new HandlebarsJson();

    //Code to populate data goes here

    var result = template(data);

Your template HTML may look something like this:

"<div class=""entry"">
     <h1>{{Threshold}}</h1>
     <div class=""body"">
     {{#each ListOfServers}}
         <p>{{Name}}</p>
         <p>{{CpuUsage}}</p>
         <p>{{RamUsage}}</p>
     {{/each}}
     </div>
 </div>"

More info about the "each" helper can be found here: Built-In Helpers

It is also possible to use json string as context data without declaring entity classes. I used DeserializeObject method from Newtonsoft.Json library and Handlebars.Net

Example:

string source =
@"<div class=""entry"">
  <h1>{{title}}</h1>
  <div class=""body"">
    {{body}}
  </div>
</div>";

var template = Handlebars.Compile(source);
const string jsonContext = "{ \"title\": \"My new post\", \"body\": \"This is my first post!\" }";
var context = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonContext);

var result = template(context);

It also supports JSON nested objects and arrays
