Advice on Handlebars.js, React Storybook
Detailed Comparison
Handlebars.js is an extension to the Mustache templating language created by Chris Wanstrath. Handlebars.js and Mustache are both logicless templating languages that keep the view and the code separated like we all know they should be. | You just load your UI components into the React Storybook and start developing them. This functionality allows you to develop UI components rapidly without worrying about the app. It will improve your team’s collaboration and feedback loop. |
| - | Isolated environment for your components (with the use of various iframe tactics);Hot module reloading (even for functional stateless components);Works with any app (whether it's Redux, Relay or Meteor);Support for CSS (whether it's plain old CSS, CSS modules or something fancy);Clean and fast user interface;Runs inside your project (so, it uses your app's NPM modules and babel configurations out of the box);Serves static files (if you host static files inside your app);Deploy the whole storybook as a static app;Extendable as necessary (support for custom webpack loaders and plugins) |

What are some alternatives to Handlebars.js, React Storybook?
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript development. It's a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.
Pug
This project was formerly known as "Jade." Pug is a high performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml and implemented with JavaScript for Node.js and browsers.
Mustache
Mustache is a logic-less template syntax. It can be used for HTML, config files, source code - anything. It works by expanding tags in a template using values provided in a hash or object. We call it "logic-less" because there are no if statements, else clauses, or for loops. Instead there are only tags. Some tags are replaced with a value, some nothing, and others a series of values.
Slim Lang
Slim is a template language whose goal is to reduce the view syntax to the essential parts without becoming cryptic. It started as an exercise to see how much could be removed from a standard html template (<, >, closing tags, etc...). As more people took an interest in Slim, the functionality grew and so did the flexibility of the syntax.
RactiveJS
Ractive was originally created at theguardian.com to produce news applications. Ractive takes your Mustache templates and transforms them into a lightweight representation of the DOM – then when your data changes, it intelligently updates the real DOM.
EJS
It is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. No religiousness about how to organize things. No reinvention of iteration and control-flow. It's just plain JavaScript.
PrimeNg
It has a rich collection of components that would satisfy most of the UI requirements of your application like datatable, dropdown, multiselect, notification messages, accordion, breadcrumbs and other input components. So there would be no need of adding different libraries for different UI requirements.
Structor
Structor is a visual development environment for node.js Web applications with React UI. The essential part of the builder is a project boilerplate. The boilerplate is a prepacked source code of node.js application in which metainfo included.
Jinja
