With more than just a couple templates, it become difficult to keep track of where anything is. It doesn't help build a good mental model of how Handlebars templates are incorporated into an Ember app. And it doesn't prepare new Ember developers for how their code should be organized when they eventually switch to Ember CLI or some other build tool. 32 | 33 | ## Usage 34 | 35 | Ember Handelbars Loader makes the opposite set of trade-offs, letting you write your `index.html` like: 36 | 37 | ``` 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | My Ember app 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | ``` 60 | 61 | Include a `
