Backbone, Require and Wire test project

A basic project based on the TodoMVC project setup to serve as a example and test bed for the use of base JavaScript libraries of Backbone, Require and Wire.

Installation

Install locally via git

$ git clone https://github.com/pieter-vanderwerff/backbone-require-wire.git

This includes all needed libs.

You will need a local web server to demo the project locally.

Demo

To see the application running you have two options:

• Live: In your browser open http://pieter-vanderwerff.github.com/backbone-require-wire/

• Local: In your browser open http://localhost/backbone-require-wire/index.html or where ever you have it locally

By default the application will run in live mode, adding #dev to the end of the url will put it in dev mode, which means it will use all files rather than the built one.

Test

To access the unit test suite:

• Live: In your browser open http://pieter-vanderwerff.github.com/backbone-require-wire/js/todos/spec/SpecRunner.html

• Local: In your browser open http://localhost/backbone-require-wire/js/todos/spec/SpecRunner.html or where ever you have it locally

This always runs in dev mode.

Build

To install the build system you will need access to make for osx it comes with xcode command line tools, Node and NPM are also needed. Once you have these simply navigate to the js/todos/src directory and run make install.

$ cd js/todos/src
$ make install

All builds can then be run from the js/todos/src directory and with make command

$ cd js/todos/src
$ make
