ribs.js 0.1.0

This project is not ready for use in production. It's still under heavy development. I wrote this for another project I work on right now, but its still far from being stable. Testing are fixes and comments are welcome.

typescript build command

tsc --target ES5 --module umd --outDir ../build --sourceMap ribs.ts collection.ts container.ts controller.ts eventsManager.ts model.ts router.ts view.ts viewHelper.ts

main goal(s):

• extend backbone view to automate some tasks
• a must have is that views code should not contain any html markup, every bit of html should be in the template so that designers only have to touch that file
• new collection view to build lists and when destroyed auto close children
• new controller
• views loader based on requirejs
• collections batch save for all models at once

future:

• use promises https://github.com/jakearchibald/es6-promise
• use shadow dom for views (polymer shadow dom polyfill) https://github.com/polymer/ShadowDOM

• don't try to append html to this.$el during onIntialize as it would get overwriten, instead use onRender
