A simple RequireJS plugin to include Handlebars templates

tpl.js

define(function(require) {

	var text = require('text');
	var view = require('view');

	var cache = {};

	function load(name, parentRequire, done, config) {
		text.load(name, parentRequire, function(template) {
			cache[name] = template;
			done(view(template));
		}, config);
	}

	function write(pluginName, moduleName, write, config) {
		write.asModule(pluginName + "!" + moduleName, [
			"define([ 'view' ], function(view) {",
				"return view('",
					text.jsEscape(cache[moduleName]),
				"');",
			"});"
		].join(""));
	}

	return {
		load: load,
		write: write,
	};
});

view.js

define(function(require) {

    var _ = require('underscore');
	var Handlebars = require('handlebars');

	/**************
	 * HANDLEBARS *
	 **************/

	Handlebars.registerHelper('equals', function(value, expected, options) {
		return Handlebars.helpers['if'].call(this, value == expected, options);
	});

	Handlebars.registerHelper('unless_equals', function(value, expected, options) {
		return Handlebars.helpers['unless'].call(this, value == expected, options);
	});

	Handlebars.registerHelper('if_contains', function(value, expected, options) {
		return Handlebars.helpers['if'].call(this, value && (value.indexOf(expected) !== -1), options);
	});

	Handlebars.registerHelper('unless_contains', function(value, expected, options) {
		return Handlebars.helpers['unless'].call(this, value && (value.indexOf(expected) !== -1), options);
	});

	Handlebars.registerHelper('date', function(value, format) {
		var date = typeof value === 'number' ? moment.unix(value) : moment(value);

		if (format === 'from now')
			return date.fromNow();

		return date.format(typeof format === 'string' ? format : 'L')
	});

	/*****************
	 * VIEW FUNCTION *
	 *****************/

	return function(text, callback) {
		var compiled = Handlebars.compile(text);

		return function(data) {
			if (arguments.length > 1)
				data = _.extend.apply(_, [{}].concat(_.toArray(arguments)));
			return compiled(data ||   {});
		};
	};
});

It depends on RequireJS's text! plugin.
