Person.js (view)

gistfile1.js

YUI.add('personView',function(Y, NAME){
	var TEMPLATES = {},
		COMPILED_TEMPLATES = {};
	Y.Object.each(TEMPLATES, function (template, name) {
		COMPILED_TEMPLATES[name] = Y.Handlebars.compile(template);
	});
	Y.PersonView = Y.Base.create(
		NAME, 
		Y.View, 
		[], 
		{
			render:function(){
				this.get('container').setHTML(COMPILED_TEMPLATES.person(this.get('model').getAttrs(['name','age','height'])) + COMPILED_TEMPLATES.another());
				return this;
			}
		});
	}, '0.0.1', {
	requires: ['base-build','handlebars','node-base','view', 'personModel']
});

Ok, so, this has the compiled templates made static as well, no time wasted in doing it per-instance.

The render() method assumes there are two files under the Person.templates folder, one called person.html and the other another.html. That is why it refers to properties 'person' and 'another' in the COMPILED_TEMPLATES static variable.

Do not forget (as I did) the parenthesis after the compiled template name. They have to be called as a function even if there are no arguments to pass to them.
