Content.json should be optional

[joeyfigaro]

The project I'm working on is not relying on the compiler for inserting dynamic data, so we don't need config files for our templates. It'd be great if the compiler left {{ data }} tokens untouched (ready for being replaced later in the chain) if there was no config available for the template.

that's a good idea! in the meantime, you can put those {{ data }} strings in the content.json file.

example handlebars:

<h1>{{ headline }}</h1>

example content.json:

{
    headline: "{{ data }}"
}

i know this is kind of annoying! i'll think about a better long-term solution.

That's a great suggestion @maxlapides - thanks! Could be much worse, and totally takes care of what we need for the time being.
