Client-Side Templating

This assignment will build off of assignment 1. Copy the files from assignment 1 into a new folder for assignment 2. DO NOT COPY THE FOLDER as this will copy over the .git folder and tie this project to the GitHub repo associated with assignment 1. This should be a brand new repo.

In this assignment, you will update the Reddit search app so that all rendering of the search results is done through the Handlebars client-side templating library.

Rendering with Handlebars

Display a div for each subreddit post containing the following fields:

  • title that links to url in a new tab
  • score
  • subreddit_subscribers formatted with commas. Use a helper for this. To format a number, check out Number.prototype.toLocaleString().
  • If num_comments > 0, show the number of comments, also formatted with commas. Otherwise, show "No comments". Use the Handlebars if helper. In Handlebars, 0 is treated as falsey.

Submission

Create a repo on GitHub called itp404-assignment2-client-side-templating and upload your files. Send an email to the TA and myself with the GitHub URL. Failure to submit by the deadline will result in a 0.
