BackboneHandlebars

A gem that vendors the latest Backbone, Underscore, and Handlebars libraries and compiles/precompiles Handlebars templates.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'backbone_handlebars'

Usage

rails generate backbone_handlebars:install

This will generate the applications structure in the app/assets/javascripts directory and add the precompile option to your production environment.

Options

config.handlebars.precompile

Enables precompilation and will serve only the Handlebars runtime instead of the full library.

config.handlebars.path

Changes the path of the Handlebars library that compiles/precompiles your templates

If you want to use your own Handlebars or Handlebars runtime you have to place them in vendor/assets/handlebars/development and vendor/assets/handlebars/production respectively.
