handlebars.js - How to fix "required" attribute when using express-handlebars?

Question

I am currently using express-handlebars and have created a home.hbs (home.handlebars) file in which everything works as expected except for one thing. The "required" attribute. Not only does it not work but it is not even highlighted as a keyword in my .hbs file (I'm using vscode if it matters). I have tried all the suggestions in the following article https://fellowtuts.com/html-css/html5-required-attribute-validation-not-working/. However none of these suggestions corrected my issue. Thank you in advance for anyone who helps.

Answer 1

I think that handlebars ignores attributes like required that accept a Boolean which their values are not specified. so you should specify its value like required="true"
