The thorax gem includes Thorax.js and its dependencies (backbone, underscore, and handlebars) in your Rails asset pipeline. A few handy generators take care the boilerplate code so you don't have to. Enjoy!
This gem requires the use of rails 3.1 and greater, coffeescript and the new rails asset pipeline provided by sprockets.
In your Gemfile, add this line:
gem "thorax-rails", "~> 0.1.0"
Then run the following commands:
bundle install
rails g thorax:install
Running rails g thorax:install will create the following directory structure under app/assets/javascripts/:
models/
collections/
routers/
templates/
views/
It will also create view, model, collection, and router files that your app will extend. These are great places to define app-wide behaviors.
thorax-rails currently provides 3 simple generators to help get you started using Thorax.js with rails 3.1 and greater. The generators will only create client side code (javascript).
rails g thorax:model ModelName field:type field:type
This generator creates thorax models and collections in app/assets/javascript/models and app/assets/javascripts/collections respectively.
rails g thorax:router ModelName action action
This generator creates a thorax router with corresponding views and templates for the given actions provided.
rails g thorax:view ModelName viewName viewName
This generator creates views and their associated templates
Coming soon! I am currently developing a full CRUD scaffold which will create views and wire up a router for all the RESTful actions for a given model. Watch for version 2!
