handlebars-rails

Handlebars.js for Rails 3.1

Getting started

Add the gem to your application Gemfile:

gem 'handlebars-rails', :git => 'git://github.com/kolo/handlebars-rails.git'

Run bundle install and add folowing lines to app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require handlebars-rails
//= require handlebars

Now you can create hadlebars template files by putting each template in dedicated '.js.hjs' file (e.g. app/assets/javascripts/templates/some_template.js.hjs)

Bundle together all templates by using Sprockets. Create, for example, `app/assets/javascripts/templates/templates.js' and add into it the following line:

//= require_tree .

Now you can add this file in application.js or load it in the layout.

In Javascript templates are available through TEMPLATES variable. If you have file app/assets/Javascripts/templates/posts/index.js.hjs it will be available as TEMPLATES.templates_posts_index function.
