Render mustache templates natively in Rails using a template handler
# ./config/initializers/mustache_template.rb
class MustacheTemplate
# `call` returns a string which is evaled in the context of the action view
# This follows the same pattern as other handlers:
# https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/4-2-stable/actionview/lib/action_view/template/handlers
def call(template)
partial_prefix = File.basename(File.dirname(template.identifier))
<<-cmd
mustache_template = Mustache.new
