Compatibility with "parcel-plugin-handlebars"

[rupertsworld]

Currently, if I try to set the parcel build target to "index.hbs" (which compiles to HTML using parcel-plugin-handlebars), there is no index.html file that renders and I get a 404 when I try to browse the served site.

Just to be clear, the use case of this plugin is precompilation of handlebars template into javascript file which exports a template function. This template function can be imported and used in other scripts. So by design there isn't produced any .html file.

What is your use case?

Yep I got that.

The issue is that when this plugin is used in conjunction with parcel-plugin-handlebars (a separate plugin), it breaks the behaviour of parcel-plugin-handlebars, which produces .html files from an .hbs files.

My guess is that parcel-plugin-handlebars-precompile intercepts the .hbs files before they get to parcel-plugin-handlebars and prevents it from seeing them somehow? I don't really know what happens in Parcel behind the scenes – but it would be good to make the two plugins compatible somehow.

I'm not sure what can be done about that, but I will try to find some solution.
