What Does it do?
================
-Rails 3.1
----------
+backbonejs-rails adds the necessary libraries to your Rails app for using [Backbone.js](http://backbonejs.org).
-backbonejs-rails adds the necessary libraries to your Rails app for using [backbone.js](http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/). Also, under your assets/javascripts folder it will create the following folder structure:
-
- /backone
- /models
- /routers
- /views
-
-The gem includes the following files in its vendor/assets/javascripts folder, which means you can use any of them in your application.js file by adding something like
-
- //= require underscore
-
-after this line:
-
- //= require jquery
-
-
* backbone.js
* underscore.js
-* icanhaz.js
* json2.js
-Rails 3.0
----------
+For templates you can optionally include [ICanHaz.js](http://icanhazjs.com/)
-backbonejs-rails is similar to [jquery-rails](https://github.com/JangoSteve/jquery-rails). It adds the Javascript files that you need to create an application that uses [backbone.js](http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/) 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](http://icanhazjs.com/) which you can optionally include by doing the following
-
$ rails g backbonejs:install -ich
-* 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 %>
-What else?
+Outdated Screencast? Yep I have one.
----------
-
-It also creates a file called "config/initializers/backbone.rb" which contains the line:
-
- ActiveRecord::Base.include_root_in_json = false
-
-Which is what you need to return JSON to Backbone the way it likes it. Otherwise you would need to do something like this:
-
- def create
- render :json => Person.create(:name => params[:name], :age => params[:age])
- end
