A demo Backbone+Marionette app for my Client-side MVC talk.
It's for demonstration, I have preferred short and easy to understand code I can present, not perfection.
There is TodoMVC, but I have found that doesn't answer the questions I had about MVC. This example matches the problems better I had during prototyping our CRM system (admin system for the Prezi Support Team).
The features of this example:
- 2 views with routing: a clock and a search
- There is a navigation menu with 2 tabs for the 2 views, highlights the actual path
- The clock is doing auto-updating, like any status widget on your admin site (you can easily add AJAX call to display something from the server)
- The search is displaying results as you type (you should add a delay and an AJAX call), and also updates the URL so it's bookmarkable
You will need Node.js v0.8 (but I recommend v0.10), Compass and Sass. Please make sure you have the latest to avoid problems.
You may also have to install grunt-cli, and you will have access to the grunt command anywhere on your system:
sudo npm install -g grunt-cliAnd if you have them, these are the easy steps for initializing the repository:
npm install
bower install
grunt serverAnd voilá, it will load the page in your default browser. You can run grunt server when you want. It will also watch for changes and reload the page in your browser.
You are free to use this code for any purposes.
Feel free to do pull requests. If the code will remain simple, but will introduce the framework better, they are really welcome.
