Brunch - Handlebars.templates is undefined - handlebars.js

Question

I try to setup a dev environnement using brunch and handlebars. The handlebars-brunch package is stored in my node_modules and handlebars.runtime.js included in my vendor.js file. I've defined this template :
hello.template:
<p>Hello {{name}}</p>
And add these lines to my config.coffee :
templates:
defaultExtension: 'handlebars'
joinTo: 'app.js'
And as a proof that it works, I can see in my app.js the following lines :
;var __templateData = Handlebars.template(function Handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {
this.compilerInfo = [4,'>= 1.0.0'];
helpers = this.merge(helpers, Handlebars.helpers); data = data || {};
var buffer = "", stack1, functionType="function", escapeExpression=this.escapeExpression;
buffer += "<p>Hello ";
if (stack1 = helpers.name) { stack1 = stack1.call(depth0, {hash:{},data:data}); }
else { stack1 = depth0.name; stack1 = typeof stack1 === functionType ? stack1.apply(depth0) : stack1; }
buffer += escapeExpression(stack1)
+ "</p>\r\n\r\n";
return buffer;
});
if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
define([], function() {
return __templateData;
});
} else if (typeof module === 'object' && module && module.exports) {
module.exports = __templateData;
} else {
__templateData;
}
But when i invoke Handlebars.templates.hello like this :
var tpl = Handlebars.templates.hello;
var html = tpl ( { name: "ok" } );
console.log ( tpl );
I get this error : Cannot read property 'hello' of undefined. So Handlebars is defined but not templates. My dependencies inclusion seems fine too as my main function is located after everything else, like this:
[...]
if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
define([], function() {
return __templateData;
});
} else if (typeof module === 'object' && module && module.exports) {
module.exports = __templateData;
} else {
__templateData;
}
;( function ( $, document, window ) {
var tpl = Handlebars.templates.hello;
var html = tpl ( { name: "ok" } );
console.log ( tpl );
} ( jQuery, document, window ) );
Any idea/suggestion?

Brunch uses modules. It doesn't assign global variables or something.
require('name')
if your file was app/name.js
