Handlebars Precompiler for Sublime Text 2

This is a little plugin for Sublime Text 2. You can precompile templates using the Handlebars.js engine inside this cool IDE :)

Install

• First of all you need to have installed and running Nodejs
• Next, install the Handlebars npm package:

  $ npm install -g handlebars

• Finally just clone/download this repository into your Packages folder as "Handlebars-ST2-Precompiler"

Usage

• Open a template with the default extension: .hb, .handlebars or .html Note: You can add more extensions as you need.
• If all are ok on right click you will see a new option in the context menu called: Precompile with Handlebars, select this option.
• A new precompiled file is created and opened in a new tab (with a .js extension, the same is also configurable).
• And thats all!

Settings

The plugin comes with a few default options like following:

  {
  	"handlebars_exec" : "handlebars",
  	"allowed_extensions" : [".hb", ".hbs", ".handlebars", ".html"],
  	"compiler_options" : ["-m", "-f"],
  	"compiled_extension" : ".js"
  }

• handlebars_exec: This is the default command to run Handlebars
• allowed_extensions: This array contains all the allowed extensions by default. If your templates have a different one please add it here.
• compiler_options: This array contains the default options for Handlebars. Default are:-m: Minimize and -f: ouput file.
• compiled_extension: Finally, if you want a different file for the output change it here.

You can modify any those options as you want.
