##What can I do with this?

If you have a client build process and need to compile handlebars templates for ember.js

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 + ");";

Additionally you can pass a second argument into precompile which will build the precompiled template as an object (true or undefined) or as a string (false). Building as a string is more efficient than building as an object then converting it to a string.

var input = compiler.precompile(template, false);
var output = "Ember.TEMPLATES['foo'] = Ember.Handlebars.template(" + input + ");";

##Handlebars Version

This package will utilize any recent Handlebars version. To require a specific version simply specify it in your package.json. By default the latest 1.x version will be used.

##Development

To run the tests you must have the following node packages installed: jasmine-node, and handlebars. Then run

npm test
