PatternEngines are part of the Pattern Lab Ecosystem
This is a good place to mention that not all PatternEngines are created equal. For example, Handlebars supports many of the features built into Pattern Lab needed to make Mustache more powerful, like Pattern Parameters. Therefore, PatternEngines should describe their featureset.
Example from Handlebars:
- Includes
- Lineage
- Hidden Patterns
- Pseudo-Patterns
- Pattern States
- Pattern Parameters (Accomplished instead using native Handlebars partial arguments)
- Style Modifiers (Accomplished instead using native Handlebars partial arguments)
