Ember.js for Rails 3.1.

• for a more detailed run through see this blog article

Add the gem to your application Gemfile:

gem "emberjs-rails"

Run bundle install

Change the layout for your views to 'ember' and you will get the boilerplate html5 layout from the Ember.js starter kit. In your view you can do:

<% content_for :title { 'Demo Ember.js Application' }
   content_for :description { 'Demo Ember.js Application from outer space.' }
   content_for :author { 'Demo User <[email protected]>' } %>

Run bundle install and add the following line to

Rails will serve HandlebarsJS templates to Ember.js by putting each template in a dedicated ".js.hjs" file (e.g. app/assets/javascripts/templates/admin_panel.js.hjs) and including the assets in your view:

<%= javascript_include_tag "templates/admin_panel" %>

By default your view content will be yielded into the document body, if you want to put your javascript_include_tag statements in the document head then you can wrap it in content_for :head { ... }.

You can bundle all templates together thanks to Sprockets, e.g create app/assets/javascripts/templates/all.js with:

//= require_tree .

Now a single line in the view loads everything:

<%= javascript_include_tag "templates/all" %>

If you have any problems or suggestions please feel free to raise a Github issue on the project page.
