sc-rails

This gem adds handlebars.js compilation to the Rails 3.1 asset pipeline and provides packaged builds of SproutCore 2.0

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem "sc-rails"

Update your bundle:

$ bundle install

Place handlebars templates in their own files with the .hjs extension:

<!-- app/assets/javascripts/templates/author.hjs -->
<div class="author">{{name}}</div>

In your manifest file, require the plugin followed by your individual templates. The templates are compiled and named with their Sprockets logical path:

//= require sproutcore
//= require templates/author

Complied templates end up in SC.TEMPLATES where SproutCore can find them.

This gem is a blatant copy of the .tmpl Sprockets engine by Jimmy Cuadra which in turn is based on the sprockets-jquery-tmpl gem.

I didn't want to create this gem at all. However, I couldn't get the sproutcore-rails gem to work and for some reason that continues to elude me, simply putting the template class and engine registration in a initializer doesn't work either. I would much prefer that approach. If you understand how to do that, tell me and I will deprecate this project and replace it with a Gist.
