ShtRails

Shared handlebars templates for rails 3 and 4.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sht_rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sht_rails

Usage

$ rails g sht_rails:install

Generator add into "application.js" requirements for mustache and "templates" folder in "app". Next you can create handlebars templates in this folder or subfolders.

For example:

File: "app/templates/tests/_test.handlebars"

Hello {{msg}}!!!

In view you can render this template by this way:

<%= render "tests/test", :handlebars => {msg: "Test"} %>

The same template you can render in JavaScript:

var content = SHT['tests/test']({msg: "Test"});

Configuration

ShtRails.configure do |config|
  config.template_extension = 'handlebars' # change extension of mustache templates
  config.action_view_key    = 'handlebars' # change name of key for rendering in ActionView mustache template
  config.template_namespace = 'SHT'      # change templates namespace in javascript
  config.template_base_path = Rails.root.join("app", "templates") # templates dir
end

Note on precompiling assets and custom configs

In Rails, if you have config.assets.initialize_on_precompile set to false, but have placed the above config in an initializer, it will not run. To get around this, you can do the following in application.rb:

if "assets" == ENV["RAILS_GROUPS"] || ["development", "test"].include?(ENV["RAILS_ENV"])
  ShtRails.template_namespace = 'JST'
end
