A Mincer engine to for serving Ember-friendly Handlebars templates.
Mincer is a badass JavaScript port of Sprockets that makes it super-duper easy to serve dynamically generated assets in your connect or express app. You'll want to be familiar with its use before you try using this package.
Note*: this engine overrides the built-in Handlebars engine. Furthermore, there is no need to pair your template files with the built-in JST engine. Naming your files [my-template].hbs
will do.
How to use this old thing
First, install the package:
npm install mincer-ember-hbs-engine --save
Then, wherever you've set up your Mincer environment:
// Requirementsvar mincer = ;var mincerEmberHbs = ; // Asset pipelinevar pipeline = ;pipeline;
Assuming a directory structure similar to this…
app/ assets/ javascripts/ templates/ application.hbs home.hbs templates.js
…you can now create a manifest for your templates, like this:
app/assets/javascripts/templates.js
//= require_tree ./templates
But wait a second…
Ember.TEMPLATES
object like the JST engine does!
This engine never defines a default Not to fear, Ember handles defining Ember.TEMPLATES
as an empty object. Make sure that your templates aren't instantiated before Ember and you'll be A-OK.
What if I want to use JST templates at the same time?
At this time, the only way to achieve that would be to register this engine under a different file extension, leaving the default .hbs
engine intact.
