backbone-rails

Developing javascript applications on top of rails just got faster thanks to the Rails 3.1 asset pipeline. Like jquery-rails, this gem bundles some javascript files to make them available to your application:

• backbone

How to use it

Rails 3.1

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'backbone-rails'

Require backbone in app/assets/javascripts/application.js.coffee:

#= require backbone-rails

With pure javascript, the line would look like app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require backbone-rails

Versioning

The gem will follow backbone versioning.
