Pre-Compile feature

[hn1]

Does this library support PreCompiling templates as does the js version.
If so, how does one do it and store it so that it can be repeatedly used without needing to be compiled everytime.
We cannot find anything in the docs.
Thanks

Handlebars.Net does not currently support emitting the compiled functions as durable IL that can be referenced from another binary. What problem are you trying to solve?

Compilation is the slowest part of templating.
The js version is much more performant as pre-compilation is much faster.

We would like to compile and store the compilation so that we just get it and pass the model to it as oppsed to having to compile the whole thing everytime we need to render.

Keep your knickers on man. there is no need to give lectures about people's lives. It's just that we noticed questions from months ago were just left unanswered not just from a few days ago.

More context is helpful, like what is your process lifecycle? How much time is being spent compiling?

We have not measured the timings but as a best practice it is obviously better to have a precompiled template than not.
Thanks for your time anyway and look forward to this feature making its way into the library.
