requirejs-ehbs

Simple precompiling Handlebars plugin for RequireJS and Ember

Simple Handlebars loader and precompiler for RequireJS.

While this plugin precompiles the templates it does not swap out the Handlebars dependency to runtime only version on builds automatically.

Usage

The loader uses the AMD text loader plugin to handle all ajax stuff so make sure you have it and a Handlebars fork with an AMD definition in your setup.

Unlike epeli/requirejs-hbs this plugin requires Ember to compile the templates, add dependency on that in your config.

After that requirejs-hbs can be used like the original Handlebars plugin:

require.config({
  paths: {
    'my-ember': 'bower_components/ember/ember',
    ...
  },
  ehbs: {
    templateExtension: ".html"
  },    
  shim : { ... },
});

require(['my-ember', 'ehbs!app/templates/hello'], function ( Ember, template ) {
  var View = Ember.View.extend({
    classNames: ['page-wrap'],
    templateName: 'application',
    template: template,
    ember: 'my-ember'
  })
});

Configuration options under ehbs key

• default extension is .ehbs
• you can specify templateRoot, if for the above example you set it to app/templates then the following occur:
  • templates are automatically registered, the above will be inside Ember.TEMPLATES['helo']
  • the require should be changed from ehbs!app/templates/hello to ehbs!hello
• you can specify ember which is the key that you used in your require.config for loading ember, this is required unless you required ember with a key different than the literal string ember, as in the above code my-ember
