[WIP] Globals + canary bower artifact repo deployment

[jayphelps]

Update 05/06/15: Wow, things have changed a TON with Glimmer...Still not settled down enough to finish this...yet.

I can haz a bower dist? How bout globals?

I'll need someone to help get this past the finish line. @rwjblue put me in the right direction but the global dist fails to load with Uncaught Error: Could not find module htmlbars-util/handlebars/safe-string (others inside htmlbars-util also will fail to find more htmlbars-util/handlebars/*).

Digging through, I expect it has something to do with #194. Does amd/htmlbars.amd.js even work right now as-is? Doesn't for me.

• Sit on my butt until [WIP] Reactive rerendering #282 is merged.
• Fix htmlbars-util/handlebars inline dependency issue
• What about htmlbars-runtime??? (should it get merged into the window.HTMLBars namespace?)
• Someone create tildeio/htmlbars-builds or equivalent artifact storage. (bower sucks needs this)

AFAIK I can't truly pre-test all the travis -> artifact push stuff, but it's mostly copy-pasta from ember-qunit, et al.

Intentional console log?

@jayphelps the runtime package would possibly used if you wanted to consume HTMLBars as a stand-alone templating engine. In Ember, we provide our own hooks implementation to HTMLBars and thus in many ways the hooks are only used for testing and proof-of-concept. @mmun might be able to say if that would change with the new reactive rendering changes. I know the concept of hooks will change.

I'm unsure if we're stable enough to have a great story here yet, but I would love to see HTMLBars a library used for things beyond Ember.

@mixonic I definitely need htmlbars-runtime myself. One of the above tasks mentions I wasn't sure where it would live, globals-wise.

@jayphelps for sure, I'm open to exposing it in an AMD and globals public API. HTMLBars.Runtime.hooks seems ok. But as I hope I made clear: I am uncertain of if hooks will even survive some of the changes @wycats and @tomdale are working on.

[jayphelps]

@mixonic Yup, got it. We will adapt; Resistance is futile.

Definitely interested in seeing this finished 👍

@lazd waiting for Glimmer changes to settle. 😀
