Description
In handlebars 1.1 whitespace control was introduced.
Simply, for any mustache expression you may add ~ after opening brackets or before closeing brackets, to indicate that all whitespace before/after the expression should be trimmed.
Eg.
{{#each item in list }}
<div>{{ item }}</div>
{{/each}}will render each line as <div>Item</div> - which sometimes may break the layout (e.g. if the blocks are display: inline-block, they will have unwanted empty spaces between them)
Since handlebars 1.1, we can fix this by adding whitespace control:
{{#each item in list ~}}
<div class="inline-block">{{ item }}</div>
{{~/each}}However, when I tried to use this in my ember app, i am getting error:
Warning: Running "emberTemplates:dist" (emberTemplates) task

Warning: Ember Handlebars failed to compile app/templates/forecast.hbs. Use --force to continue.The related emberTemplates:dist Grunt task:
emberTemplates: {
options: {
templateName: function (sourceFile) {
var templatePath = yeomanConfig.app + '/templates/';
return sourceFile.replace(templatePath, '');
}
},
dist: {
files: {
'.tmp/scripts/compiled-templates.js': '<%= yeoman.app %>/templates/{,*/}*.hbs'
}
}
},Looks like ember-handlebars does not allow whitespace control?
