How to use Ember.js without using handles

Question

I am very interested in using ember.js for one of my applications. I'm tired of spaghetti javascript / jquery. I understand that I am not obliged to use Handlebars, but how should you use emberjs without it? Also, are there serious flaws in not using Handlebars with emberjs? I did not find any resources on the Internet on how to work with emberjs without it.

Answer 1

Ember.js is very powerful, even if you never touch Handlebars. You can do a lot between the object model, the property / observer / binding system, state managers, and javascript views. If you want to use the template system, I would recommend using Handlebars so you can use data binding. However, it’s pretty trivial to use a different template system if there is another one that really floats on your boat.
