Injectify view helper

Additional helper for handlebars, include marionette or backbone views into template and inject it to parent LayoutView.

Install

npm install --save-dev injectify injectify-view

Usage

Configure gulp:

var gulp = require("gulp"),
    browserify = require("browserify"),
    source = require("vinyl-source-stream"),
     
require("injectify-view/inject");
    
gulp.task('js', function () {
    var bundleStream = browserify('./src/index.spec.js')
        .transform(require("injectify"))
        .bundle();

    return bundleStream
        .pipe(source('index.spec.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

If Marionette defined globally you need to do nothing. Elsewhere:

// configure helper
require("injectify-view/marionette").setInstance(require("backbone.marionette"));

In file ./src/index.spec.js require injectify view helper:

require("injectify-view");

Now you can use view helper in your templates. For example define layout:

var Layout = Marionette.Layout.extend({
    template: require("./tpl/Layout.hbs")
});

and template

Layout with internal view: {{view "../Internal" "test" model=user someOption=123}}

Attributes of view helper:

1. Path to module with Backbone.View or Marionette.View
2. Name of region, that will appear on parent Layout. Optional. 
   It will generate unique name for you
3. Hash will be pass to view constructor, you can specify options and models in it

In Layout will be created test region and view will be putted in.

view helper works like original browserify require. You can require modules relative to template file or node_modules directory.
