Use with AMD / Require.js / requirejs-rails about handlebars_assets

Hi @pboling,

I just skimmed the two links.

Fundamentally the problem is that the asset pipeline transforms a single file at a time. I skimmed the requirejs-rails README did not see anything that gives an indication that it works any differently?

As a data point, even the smallest app I have is over twenty CoffeeScript files and templates.

Perhaps you could write a template module for requirejs to use, and inside that module, use the normal asset pipeline require to load in the compiled templates?

If something like that is not possible, then the place to make handlebars_assets generate a module per template is here:

https://github.com/leshill/handlebars_assets/blob/master/lib/handlebars_assets/tilt_handlebars.rb#L40

That said, this seems very much like the wrong approach.

WDYT?

Forked and and implemented a solution that seems simple, backwards compatible, and makes sense from a RequireJS perspective. Pull request momentarily...

Apparently I had the same idea you did. Went with option 2. Option 1 would be a lot more complex.
