Ember Quickstart Application

What is this?

This application pulls lineman & ember together and provides a simple project shell to get started with Ember development quickly.

The app is cloned from lineman-ember-template and adjusted so that the Ember application files are in JavaScript rather than CoffeeScript. Please see the original project if you would prefer to have a base Ember project in CoffeeScript.

Setup

If you haven't already done so, first: install node.js; next, install lineman:

$ npm install -g lineman

To work from this example, just clone it, change into the project directory and run:

$ npm install
$ lineman run

And then visit the page at localhost:8000 to verify that it works.

Lineman?

Lineman is a great project that will:

• Watch your application during development for changing files and re-compile/concatenate the files as required.
• Run your tests as you change them.
• Provide a way to package and deploy your project.

In other words lineman will support a lot of common JavaScript tasks required while developing fat client JavaScript applications without the need for a seperate backend server, such as Rails. However, it will not get in the way should you move to using Rails or similar.
