Easy way to precompile Emberjs Handlebar templates with nodejs?

Question

I\'m enjoying emberjs a lot and would like to take the next step in a couple of my small, mobile apps and precompile my Ember/Handlebars templates as part of my build process.

Answer 1

I've published a version of ember-precompiler with a similar interface to the handlebars command line utility. You can install it from NPM:

npm install -g ember-precompile

and then run it as:

ember-precompile template... [-f OUTPUT_FILE]

It does essentially what you describe (and what the gist versions do too): mock out the missing components needed to run Ember and Handlebars, compile the templates and add them to Ember.TEMPLATES.
