inline javascript within handlebars template

Question

Is there no way to have an inline script within a Handlebars template?

Answer 1

You'll have to wrap that widget in a custom Ember.View to handle instantiating it and adding it to the DOM, in the wrapper view's didInsertElement. Ember expects, especially inside handlebars templates, to have full control over DOM manipulation, and it does that with a combination of handlebars magic, and Ember.View creation. Once you've defined your customview:

MyApp.DisqusView = Em.View.extend({
    didInsertElement: function() {
        // create widget and append it to this.$()
    }
});

You can use it in your handlebars template:

{{view MyApp.DisqusView}}

Your view should not add Script tags, for safety reasons, but should rather execute any JS directly to insert the widget.
