Sinatra Handlebars

Helpers for serving Handlebars.js templates in Sinatra.

• Pre-compile handlebars templates from separate view files rather than littering them throughout your html.

Installation

Bundler users

If you use Bundler, add it to your Gemfile.

gem 'sinatra-handlebars',   git: 'http://github.com/benkitzelman/sinatra-handlebars'

Setup

Install the plugin and add some options.

require 'sinatra/handlebars'

class App < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Handlebars
  handlebars {
    templates '/js/templates.js', ['app/templates/*']
  }
end

Partials

Partial template filenames must be prefixed with an '_', and are referenced without the prefix. For example, for the partial template file '_MyPartial.hbs', to render in a parent template it would be referenced as MyPartial}

Sinatra AssetPack

If you're using the sinatra-assetpack gem, add your served templates to a package.
