Handlebars
==========

Handlebars is a simple template language inspired by Mustache.

This component is a YUI port of the original Handlebars project, which can be
found at <https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js>.


Differences
-----------

YUI-specific changes are minimal. We just wrap the Handlebars code into two YUI
modules:

  - handlebars-base: The bare minimum code necessary to render pre-parsed
    Handlebars templates.

  - handlebars-compiler: The additional code necessary to parse and compile
    Handlebars templates.

The 'handlebars' module is an alias that can be used to load both modules.


Code Organization
-----------------

The upstream Handlebars code YUI uses is maintained in a fork of the original
Handlebars.js project on GitHub, which we're trying to keep closely in sync
with the original Handlebars.js project.

The YUI fork can be found at <https://github.com/yui/handlebars.js/tree/yui>.
The "yui" branch on that fork will contain any changes we've made that haven't
yet been integrated upstream, but we do our best to get changes integrated
upstream as quickly as possible to avoid diverging.

Before you can import the Handlebars.js source, you must build Handlebars.js
locally to create the `lib/handlebars/compiler/parser.js` in the local
Handlebars.js repo. Here are the steps (you need `Node.js`, `npm`, `Ruby` and
`Gem` installed):

   * `gem install bundler`
   * `bundle install`
   * `rake compile`

This should compile the `parser.js` file required to import into YUI.

Code from this Handlebars.js repo is imported into the YUI 3 repo by a
`Gruntfile` in the `src/handlebars` directory. Running `grunt` will copy
Handlebars source files from the separate Handlebars repo into the
`src/handlebars/js` directory in the YUI 3 repo.

Handlebars files imported into `src/handlebars/js` are prefixed with
`handlebars-` and should not be edited, while YUI-specific files that live in
that directory are prefixed with `yui-handlebars` and may be edited.

After importing Handlebars files, run `shifter` to build the final YUI modules.
The Handlebars API will be available at `Y.Handlebars` when you use one of the
Handlebars modules.

When you commit your changes you need to reference the latest Handlebars.js
commit hash so others know the latest commit that was merged into the build.
