##What can I do with this?

If you have a client build process and need to compile handlebars templates for ember.js

    npm install ember-template-compiler

    var compiler = require('ember-template-compiler');
    var template = fs.readFileSync('foo.handlebars').toString();
    var input = compiler.precompile(template).toString();
    var output = "Ember.TEMPLATES['foo'] = Ember.Handlebars.template(" + input + ");";

Additionally you can pass a second argument into `precompile` which will build the precompiled template as an object (`true` or `undefined`) or as a string (`false`).  Building as a string is more efficient than building as an object then converting it to a string. 

    var input = compiler.precompile(template, false);
    var output = "Ember.TEMPLATES['foo'] = Ember.Handlebars.template(" + input + ");";

##Handlebars Version

This package will utilize any recent Handlebars version. To require a specific version
simply specify it in your `package.json`. By default the latest 1.x version will be used.

##Development

To run the tests you must have the following node packages installed: `jasmine-node`, and `handlebars`.  Then run

    npm test
