HandlebarsPromptTemplate Class

Create a Handlebars prompt template.

Handlebars are parsed as a whole and therefore do not have variables that can be extracted, also with handlebars there is no distinction in syntax between a variable and a value, a value that is encountered is tried to resolve with the arguments and the functions, if not found, the literal value is returned.

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.

Raises [ValidationError][pydantic_core.ValidationError] if the input data cannot be validated to form a valid model.

self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.
