Share your Handlebars templates between Node and the browser with minimal effort.

Hurray! I dont know what im celebrating from

This fork basically provide precompilation of handlebars templates for Ember.js application, basically the single process flow that took me many hours to be satisfied with.

hmm.. im new to the npm modules and stuff. so, to add this into ur project, u can install it manually. aka put the file inside the node_modules dir

This is how you might use it in an Express project:

app.configure('development', function(){
  hbsPrecompiler = require('handlebars-precompiler');
  hbsPrecompiler.watchDir(
    __dirname + "/views",
    __dirname + "/public/javascripts/templates.js",     // the single minified precompiled js - put above ur main ember js
    __dirname + "/public/javascripts/vendor/ember.js",  // ur ember.js file
  );
});

In this example, we watch for changes to *.handlebars files in our views directory. When changes are made, precompilation is run on all Handlebars templates and exported to a single minified Javascript file.

Client-side versions of the templates will be named and stored in the Ember.TEMPLATES object according to their file name, e.g. Ember.TEMPLATES['user_info'] more e.g. var view = Em.View.create({ name: "Bob", template: Em.TEMPLATES["user_info"] });
