Multiple layouts with Handlebars and ExpressJS?
You should be able to pass in the layout from your route/controller when you call the render method.
router.get('/', function(req, res) { res.render('home', {layout: 'viewBLayout.hbs'});});I am pretty sure jade will let you switch layouts from inside the template but I don't know if you can do that with handlebars.
If you use express-hbs, you can specify a layout in the template with a comment like:
{{!< layout}}Alternatively, you can try exphbs. It also supports layout comments and multiple layouts can be nested. (Disclaimer: I wrote it.)
make sure you first make two files named "main.handlebars" and "backend.handlebars" in /layouts directory:
Try this code for two routes if you want for example
router.get('/', function(req, res) { res.render('home', {layout: 'main'});});router.get('/backend', function(req, res) { res.render('home', {layout: 'backend'});});
