#ko.handlebars.js

ko.handlebars.js is a template engine for knockoutjs. It enables you to use handlebars.js template library in place of Knockout's native templating.

Tested with Knockout v2.2.1 and handlebars.js v1.0.0-rc.3.

##Todo

Add tests.
Allow for use of precompiled templates.

##Usage

Set default template engine to be used by Knockout. Make sure you do that before of your custom Knockout related code (like creating observables, applying bindings etc.).

// Set ko.handlebars.js as a template engine for knockout
ko.setTemplateEngine(new ko.handlebarsTemplateEngine());

##Example

<!doctype html>

<title>ko.handlebars.js example</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="../lib/handlebars-1.0.0-rc.3.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../lib/knockout-2.2.1.debug.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../ko.handlebars.js"></script> <script> ko.setTemplateEngine(new ko.handlebarsTemplateEngine()); </script>

	<!-- handlebars template -->
	<script id="person-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
		{{ name }} is {{ age }}
		<button data-bind='click: makeOlder'>Make Older</button>
	</script>

	<!-- knockout model and bindings -->
	<script type="text/javascript">
		var viewModel = {
			name: 'Martin',
			age: ko.observable(78),
			makeOlder: function () {
				this.age(this.age() + 1);
			}
		};
		ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
	</script>
</body>
