generator-bbb

Backbone Boilerplate generator

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 in a logical filesystem, develop your Models/Collections/Views/Routers inside modules, and build knowing you have efficient code that will not bottleneck your users.

Usage

• Install it (only once): npm install -g generator-bbb

• Create a new folder and cd into it: mkdir my-new-project && cd $_

• Run yo bbb to scaffold out a BBB skeleton app

• Run grunt to build and grunt server to preview

Options

• --skip-install

  Skips the automatic execution of bower and npm after scaffolding has finished.

• --test-framework=[framework]

  Defaults to mocha. Can be switched for another supported testing framework like jasmine.
