Broccoli Handlebars Precompiler

Broccoli plugin that gives us an easy way to precompile Handlebars templates.

It opens every handlebar file and creates js file that can be later combine by different tool.

Install

npm install --save broccoli-handlebars-precompiler

Example

var broccoliHandlebars = require('broccoli-handlebars-precompiler');

var tree = broccoliHandlebars(tree, {
  srcDir: 'js/templates',
  namespace: 'App.templates'
});

How to use it in javascript application

Sample templates files.

productList.hbs
products/item.hbs

After precompiling with namespace 'App.templates' accessing those is quite easy.

Templates from main folder:

App.templates.productList({hondaCivic:"Honda Civic for sale", citroenXsara:"Citroen Xsara for sale"});

Templates from subfolders:

App.templates["products/item"]({name:"Honda Civic", price:"10.000"});
