This is the setup I use with RedditJS. I thought I would strip it down so myself and others can use it as a good starting point for projects.
####This boiler plate is built with :
- Node.js http://nodejs.org/
- Backbone.js https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone
- Underscore.js https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore
- Require.js http://requirejs.org/
- Handlebars http://handlebarsjs.com/
- jQuery http://jquery.com/
- Clone repo
git clone git@github.com:BenjaminAdams/backbone-marionette-require-handlebars-node-boilerplate.git - In the console type
npm install - In /public/js/loader.js you may have to change the window.production = false or else the changes you make to the source will not work.
sudo npm -g install nodemonThis starts the node server and monitors for changes in the files and updates the code running on node.- Run the project and watch for live changes to the code type
nodemonand you should be able to open it in http://localhost:8002/

gruntand in /public/js/loader.js change window.production = true and it will load the minified source.
