Easy way to precompile Emberjs Handlebar templates with nodejs?

Question

I\'m enjoying emberjs a lot and would like to take the next step in a couple of my small, mobile apps and precompile my Ember/Handlebars templates as part of my build process.

Answer 1

I wrote an official precompiler npm module for anyone else who might be wanting to do this w/ a recent version of ember.js

https://npmjs.org/package/ember-template-compiler

It's simple to install and use (example below)

npm install ember-template-compiler

var compiler = require('ember-template-compiler');
var template = fs.readFileSync('foo.handlebars').toString();
var input = compiler.precompile(template).toString();
var output = "Ember.TEMPLATES['foo'] = Ember.Handlebars.template(" + input + ");";
