ember.js precompiler for projects that use the django compressor
##Why did you write another precompiler npm module?
- django projects have a quick hook to execute code with django compressor
- I prefer to precompile my handlebars templates for ember.js when possible
- I couldn't find an existing npm module that was built to work with django compressor and ember.js
##How do I get started then?
First you need to install node.js if you have not already
http://nodejs.org/download/
Install the npm module
npm install django-ember-precompile
Add django compressor to your django web project
pip install -r django_compressor
Register a type to have the compressor fire off the precompile step (in your settings.py)
COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
('text/x-handlebars', 'node_modules/django-ember-precompile/bin/django-ember-precompile {infile}'),
)
Finally in your html you need to reference the uncompiled handlebars templates
{% load staticfiles %}
{% load compress %}
{% compress js %}
<script src="{% static 'script/app/templates/foo.handlebars' %}" type="text/x-handlebars"></script>
{% endcompress %}
This npm module makes a few assumptions to correctly register the template name with ember.js
1.) Each template must have a file extension of "handlebars" or "hbs"
2.) Each template must reside under a root "templates" directory
##Development
