Writing Ember.js

The client side of the project contains two screens. The first one displays an input field and a button where the user should type the Twitter handle. The second one shows the tweets. We can see this in the following screenshot:

The left part of the image shows the first page and the right one shows the tweets of the user.

Defining the templates

The html/page.html file is our main file and is the base of our application and will be the first page that the user sees. It contains the following code:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Get Twitter Feed</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styles.css">
    </head>
    <body>

        <script src="js/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
        <script src="js/handlebars-1.1.2.js"></script>
        <script src="js/ember-1.3.1.js"></script>
        <script src="js/scripts.js"></script>
    </body>
