This boilerplate is the product of much research and frustration. Existing boilerplates freely modify Backbone core, lack a build process, and are very prescriptive; Backbone Boilerplate changes that.
Organize your application with a logical file structure, develop your Models/Collections/Views/Routers inside modules, and build knowing you have efficient code that will not bottleneck your users.
Thanks to our Contributors!
Special Thanks to: cowboy, iros, nimbupani, wookiehangover, and jugglinmike for helping me create this project.
Extra Special Thanks to: Paul Guinan for giving me usage rights to his fantastic Boilerplate character.
The easiest way to get started is to install Git and clone the repository:
# Create a new project directory and enter it.
mkdir myproject && cd myproject
# Using Git, fetch only the last few commits. You don't need the full history
# for your project.
git clone --q --depth 0 git@github.com:tbranyen/backbone-boilerplate.git .

To use the new and improved build process, please visit the
grunt-bbb
plugin repo and follow the instructions to install. Basing your project off
this repo will allow the bbb
commands to work out-of-the-box.
