## Usage
Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

For further information read the linked docs at the top of this README.

> Note: Why did we decide against a class based architecture?  
Easy: handlebars.js is already pretty determined how things are handled internally, namely a global partial template registry
It doesn't make sense to then introduce a scoped partial template approach.

```javascript
import * as smarthbs from 'smarthbs'

// read all .hbs files in a directory and any child directories and use relative path as partial string identifier
smarthbs.registerPartialDir(testPartialDir)

// read all .hbs files in a particular directory and level, output them to a destination and specify a .json file to read any referenced data
smarthbs.compileDirectory(testHbsDir, testResultDir, 'data.json')
```
