handlebar_wax

What is it?

HandlebarWax is a gem to let you easily share mustache templates between your server-side and client-side code.

On the server, HandlebarWax uses code borrowed from handlebars-rails to support ..hbs as a template type (think foo.html.erb, foo.html.haml, foo.html.hbs). These work pretty much exactly like you would expect they should.

For the client side, HandlebarWax writes all your templates into public/javascripts/handlebars_templates.js, for you to use in your JavaScript code.

How do I use it?

Add it to your gemfile.
```
gem "handlebar_wax"
```
Add it to your layout (it’s important that :handlebar_wax be a symbol, not a string)
```
= javascript_include_tag :handlebar_wax
```

Create view files.

(app/views/users/_user.html.hbs)

<h1>{{greeting}},  {{user/name}}!</h1>

Render views from rails. Note that in MustacheWax, hbs templates understand both assigns and locals.
```
- @user = User.first
= render :partial => 'users/user', :locals => {:greeting => "Hello"}
```

Render views from JavaScript

HandlebarWax('users/_user', {user: {name: "Why"}, greeting: "Frabjous Day"})

Who made this possible?

Steven Soroka (ssoroka) for pub-based discussion about this, and initial mustache_wax code
Yehuda Katz and Jamesarosen for handlebars-rails, which this project includes in its entirety, with very few modifications as of yet.
Yehuda Katz (yes, twice) for the wonderful Handlebars.js.
