Is it possible to load handlebar template with script tag? Or define handlebar templates programmatically in Ember.js

Question

Simply enough I do not want to define all my handlebar templates in my html file

I tried this

Answer 1

So since I still wanted separate files for my templates and I didn't want to define them in strings in the javascript I hacked this together last night

It is a synchronous lazy loader, it loads all the templates first, then ember and the rest of my code,

        //fake function so that every loads fine will get redefined in application.js
        function initializeApp(){}

        function loadTemplates(){
            var arg = arguments[0],
                next = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments,1);
            if(typeof arg != 'string'){
                arg()
            }else{
                var scriptObj = document.createElement('script');
                scriptObj.type = 'text/x-handlebars';
                $(scriptObj).attr('data-template-name', arg.replace('.handlebars', '').substring(arg.lastIndexOf('/')+1))
                $.get(arg, function(data){
                    scriptObj.text = data;
                    document.head.appendChild(scriptObj);
                    if(next.length > 0) loadTemplates.apply(this, next);
                });
            }
        }

        function loadScripts() {
            var script = arguments[0],
                scriptObj = document.createElement('script'),
                next = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments,1);
            scriptObj.type = 'text/javascript';
            scriptObj.src = script;
            scriptObj.onload = scriptObj.onreadystatechange = (next.length > 0) ? function(){loadScripts.apply(this, next)} : function(){$(document).ready(function() {initializeApp()})};
            document.head.appendChild(scriptObj);
        }

        function loadApp(obj){
            loadTemplates.apply(this, obj.templates.concat(function(){loadScripts.apply(this,obj.scripts)}))
        }

        window.onload = function(){
            loadApp({
                templates:
                    [
                        '/javascripts/views/templates/nav-bar.handlebars',
                    ],
                scripts:
                    [
                        'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=initializeGoogleMaps',
                        '/javascripts/lib/bootstrap.js', 
                        '/javascripts/lib/rails.js', 
                        '/javascripts/lib/ember.js',
                        '/javascripts/application.js',
                        '/javascripts/views/nav_bar.js',
                    ]
            })
        }

EDIT: I cleaned it up and made it work properly only testing in chrome though
