Titanium-backbone is a framework for building native iOS and Android apps using Titanium and Backbone.

This project is in very early stages of extraction from a production mobile banking application, but the ideas and patterns extracted have worked very well within this large app. We're taking the time to refactor as we extract so it should be even cleaner.

We have a Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/titanium-backbone if you'd like to participate.

Visit the Titanium download page and follow the instructions from there to download Titanium Studio (and the Titanium SDK), or clone the GitHub repository at https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile.

$ git clone https://github.com/trabian/titanium-backbone.git
$ cd titanium-backbone

$ npm install

$ ./bin/tb new [app name]
# Run ./bin/tb new --help for instructions

Optional: Install and run the app generator globally by running:

$ npm install -g
$ tb new --help

The test suite can be run using npm:

$ npm test

During development it can be helpful to use testem for monitoring the source files and rerunning the tests as the underlying files are changed.

To use testem, run the following in the titanium-backbone directory:

$ npm install -g testem
$ testem
