handlebars-idom

A handlebars to incrememtal-dom compiler designed to compile handlebars templates into the appropriate JavaScript for Incremental DOM. Particularly useful when used along with hbsidomify to pre-compile Handlebars templates into Javascript functions for use in Single Page Applications on a variety of JavaScript MVC frameworks.

NOTE: This project is currently a WIP, while compiles basic handlebars statements and most builtin helpers you should take extra care running this in your projects as you may experience some incompatibilities. The tests ran in the spec folder can provide details of what is currently covered and what is yet to be implemented.
