Todo

A todo list built on the Reaction framework. This is intended to be a minimal example. The annotated source is available here.

Install and Run

1. Clone.

$> git clone https://github.com/jimjh/reaction-todos

1. Install.

$> bundle install

1. Migrate.

$> rake db:setup

1. Run.

$> bundle exec rails server

Open up two different browsers (I tried this in Chrome and Safari) and point them to http://localhost:3000. Changes made in one browser are immediately updated in the other.

Reaction

Except for the following places, Todos is just a regular Rails app.

• Gemfile - added the reaction and thin gems
• config/routes.rb - added mount_reaction to start the push server
• app/controllers/todos_controller.rb - included Reaction::Rails::Publisher and used respond_with in every action
• app/assets/javascripts/application.js - imported backbone, amplify, and reaction

Finally, app/assets/javascripts/init.js contains a regular Backbone app, adapted from the Backbone tutorial. The templates are in app/views/home/index.html.erb.
