Solrstrap is a Query-Result interface for Solr- it is intended to be a starting point for those building web interfaces that talk to Solr, or a very lightweight admin tool for querying Solr in a Googleish fashion.

Cool things about Solrstrap:

• Requires only local installation- easy to set up
• Access to all Bootstrap functionality. Can be easily extended in a Bootstrappy way.
• Blazing fast
• Uses less bandwidth

Use it as you see fit. Merciless criticism and fawning praise equally welcome.

Handlebars provides the power necessary to let you build semantic templates effectively with no frustration.

Handlebars.js has become the defacto standard for templating in JavaScript, filling the void left from the abandonment and non-replacement of the jQuery template project. Handlebars.js is an implementation of the mighty platform-independant mustache project

JavaScript templating makes it a lot easier to implement cool interface functionality on your search result page such as responsive design, autoscrolling and more. Handlebars make JS templating a cinch.

You get the benefit of Handlebars.js on webpages that have a lot of repeating code such as lists, search-results and libraries.

In order to see Solr and Handlebars.js in action click here or copy and paste the code below into an empty .html file.

      for (var i = 0; i < result.response.docs.length; i++) {
        $("#rs").append(hitTemplate({title: result.response.docs[i].title, text: result.response.docs[i].text}));
      }
    });
  });

One of the live demos has also been uploaded here to demonstrate how a Solr server can be rendered using JavaScript.
