What Does it do?
----------------

Compatible with Rails 3.0.x (Rails 3.1.x support is coming)

backbonejs-rails is similar to jquery-rails. It adds the Javascript files that you need to create an application that uses backbone.js as a JavaScript MVC. This gem will get the most recent version of these files from their master branches on github.

These are:

* backbone.js
* backbone.min.js
* underscore.js
* underscore.min.js
* json2.js

For templates I have included ICanHaz.js

* icanhaz.js
* icanhaz.min.js

Upon installation the files are added to your javascript defaults so that you can still use the following in your views/layouts/application.html.erb file:

    <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>

Installation
------------

The best way to install backbone-rails is by adding the following to your Gemfile:
    gem "jquery-rails"
    gem "backbonejs-rails"

Then use Bundler to install:

    $ bundle install

Usage
-------

    $ rails g jquery:install
    $ rails g backbonejs:install
