I'm playing with yeoman for a time now. I wonder how I accomplish bootstrapping a Backbone application and having require.js enabled at the same time.
yeoman init
provides me with a setup where I can work with modules in AMD style.
yeoman init backbone:all
provides me with a Backbone scaffold but I had to "include" all my models, collection etc. manually in index.html.
Is there a way to have both?
Regards Felix
There's already an open issue for this. Add your thoughts there :)
We have updated the Yeoman backbone generator to support RequireJS. But it not officially added to npm. But you can try it using
npm install git://github.com/yeoman/generator-backbone.git
Discussion : Not found in npm install
The backbone generator supports yeoman 1.0beta. Try
yo backbone
You will receive a conditional prompt for RequireJS.
UPDATE 1
Backbone generartor is available on npm.
Try npm install generator-backbone
UPDATE 2
RequireJS with --coffee
option is now supported in backbone generator v0.2.2
Hi I developed a generator for that, take a look at https://github.com/abiee/generator-backbone-amd
I was trying the same today. What I did ultimately was to perform yeoman init first. Then again yeoman install backbone. Console will ask if you want to override files. Do not override main.js & index.html. Rest you may.
This won't give you perfect start. But, most of the things will be in place.
