Add auto Ember.view creation to Templates?

[btelles]

Proposed new feature:

As a developer, I don't want to create a template, then separately define a view that uses that template.

Acceptance criteria:

The handlebars (.hb, .hjs) file handler should (in addition to creating a valid Ember template), also create a corresponding Ember view.

For example, the file "app/assets/javascript/ember/templates/post_list.hb" should create a template AND a view for the application. The view might be specified as the following:

<script type="text/javascript">

Ember.TEMPLATES[...]...

App.PostListView = Ember.View.extend({
  templateName: "ember/templates/post_list"
}); 
</script>

Any thoughts?

If I get a few +1's I'll be happy to start implementing.

Should this be on Ember.js instead of ember-rails?

I think you're assuming a one-to-one view-to-template relationship that doesn't always exist.

Maybe we could have a generator that generates both? I would rather be explicit about view class definition than have one created implicitly for each template generated.

+1 for @tomdale

I am definitely against a one-to-one view-to-template relationship. If you vant a generator for this, do it.

[tchak]

Seems like our generator already generate template and view.
See @patr1ck response in #48

Closing. Reopen if more questions
