JST not available in Javascript

[leshill]

Hi Luigi,

Does your application.js file require the templates file? If you have a file app/assets/templates/example.jst.hbs then you should see this in your generated application.js:

(function() {
  this.JST || (this.JST = {});
  this.JST["example"] = function(context) {
  ...

What does you Gemfile look like?

I changed in application.js

//= require_tree ../templates/notes

with

//= require ../templates/notes/show.jst.hbs

and now it works as expected, does require_tree work with templates and sub-folders?

Hi Luigi,

I just ran a sample app with rake assets:precompile and it works. One thing to note is that the JST variable is only available after the templates have been loaded. This means that if your application.js looks like this:

//= require jquery
//= require handlebars
//= require_tree .
//= require_tree ../templates

Then the js files included on line 3 cannot access JST until after line 4 has pulled in the templates, usually by deferring with jQuery's document ready, like so (this is a .coffee file):

$(->
  alert(JST['pages/one']())
)

Is handlebars_assets working for you now?

Yes it works. Thanks
