This gem is a wrapper for Derick Bailey's Backbone.Marionette library. It vendors the javascript library code for use with Rails' asset pipeline (Rails 3.1+).
This gem is currently maintained by @wingrunr21.
Backbone.Marionette depends on Backbone (and Backbone's dependencies). These dependencies are not currently managed by the marionette-rails gem directly, because there exists multiple options to use Backbone with the Rails asset pipeline, such as backbone-on-rails, backbone-rails, rails-backbone, just to name a few.
Add it to your Gemfile:
gem 'marionette-rails'
Then add this to app/assets/javascripts/application.js.coffee after your
backbone require:
#= require backbone.marionette
Or, if you are using pure javascript, add this to app/assets/javascripts/application.js:
//= require backbone.marionette
The gem will mirror the Backbone.Marionette versioning scheme. That is, version 0.8.2.* of marionette-rails would vendor Backbone.Marionette v0.8.2.
There are two rake tasks that aid with this process:
rake marionette:latest # => will fetch the latest Backbone.Marionette tag/SHA and print them
rake marionette:update # => will update the gem to the latest Backbone.Marionette js and update the gem version
For bugs in Backbone.Marionette itself, head over to their issue tracker. If you have a question, post it at StackOverflow under the backbone.marionette tag.
For bugs in this gem distribution, use the GitHub issue tracker. If you could submit a pull request - that's even better!
