Brunch with Chaplin and Node (based on Brunch with Chaplin)

Huge Thanks to Paul Miller for making the project -- Brunch

Brunch with Chaplin is a skeleton (boilerplate) for Brunch based on Chaplin framework, Brunch with Chaplin is the default application skeleton for Brunch, so you don't need to specify --skeleton option for the command.

Requires Brunch 1.4+.

Getting started

• Create new project via executing

brunch new <project name> -s https://github.com/mattma/Brunch-with-Chaplin-and-Node.git.

• Build the project with brunch b or brunch w.
• Open the public/ dir to see the result.
• Write your code.

Example application built with the skeleton: Ost.io.

Difference from Chaplin Boilerplate

Chaplin Boilerplate is a official boilerplate all for chaplin. This skeleton is almost the same, except a few changes:

• Added Header.
• Added authentication abstractions (SessionController, LoginView etc).
• CommonJS is used instead of AMD, because it's easier to use & debug.

Difference from Brunch with Chaplin

• Updated to jQuery 1.8.0
• added json2.js to take care JSON object
• Added lodash-0.4.2.js instead of underscore 1.3.3
• Removed console-helper.js from original repo
• HTML5Boilerplate 3.0.3 html & css are included.
• CoffeeScript + Sass + Jade + Handlebars as app languages
• NoSQL CouchDB supports out of the box
• Add cake docs function to generate documentations
• Cross-module communication using the Mediator and Publish/Subscribe patterns
• Controllers for managing individual UI views
• Rails-style routes which map URLs to controller actions
• An application view as dispatcher and view manager
• Extended model, view and collection classes to avoid repetition and enforce conventions
• Strict memory management and object disposal
• A collection with additional manipulation methods for smarter change events
• A collection view for easy and intelligent list rendering
• Client-side authentication using service providers like Facebook, Google and Twitter

Make the script AMD compatible

1. Option 1

	(function (factory) {
	  if (typeof exports === 'object') {
	    module.exports = factory(require('backbone'), require('underscore'));
	  } else if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
	    define(['backbone', 'underscore'], factory);
	  } else if (typeof require === 'function' && typeof require.define === 'function') {
	    require.define({ 'backbone-validation': function(exports, require, module) {
	        module.exports = factory(require('backbone'), require('underscore'));
	     }});
	  }
	}(function (Backbone, _) {})

2. Option 2

	// ...
	// backbone-validation.js source code

	require.define({'backbone-validation': function(exports, require, module) {module.exports = Backbone.Validation;}});

	// your file.js
	Validation = require 'backbone-validation'

Deploy: update package.json

• Change the name field
