Structure

After you've built the app and played around with it, you'll probably notice there are a few things you can do. You can create a new account, login, add some notes, delete notes, and logout.

Now it's time to take a look under the hood.

First checkout app/javascripts/main.js. Notice this section of code:

// Include modules
Application.module('home', require('./modules/home'));
Application.module('login', require('./modules/login'));
Application.module('register', require('./modules/register'));

Every section of the app is broken up into modules (found in app/javascripts/modules). The application (app/javascripts/application/application.js) defines how these modules interact with eachother, the application, and application data (user data, preferences, etc).

If you want to remove a module, simply remove it from main.js and re-build.
