Implementing Paperclip with Rails 4 and Backbone/Handlebars

Hey there I'm trying to implement this Paperclip advice into a Rails 4 app that I'm building with Backbone and Handlebars. I'm using HBS templates for the form, and these templates are in HTML. When you are creating the <%= field_for %>, what should I use as an alternative within this handlebars form?

Why do you say fields_for and not form_for?

I believe the only helper block in handlebars is {{#form "/post" class="form"}} code for form fields in here
{{/form}}

but with backbone and handlebars you'd have to make sure you call that before you do the form. just see the github for that bit https://github.com/badsyntax/handlebars-form-helpers
