MarionetteDust - Rails

Provides full integration between Marionette.js (and dependencies), Dust.js and the Asset Pipeline, also includes generators for a typical marionette application.

Installation

Add marionette_dust to your gemfile:

gem 'marionette_dust'

Download and install by running:

$ bundle install

Initialize your app with:

$ rails generate md:install

This adds //= require marionette_dust in your application.js manifest and generates the basic scaffold for your marionette application:

app/
└── assets/
    └── javascripts/
        ├── apps/
        ├── entities/
        └── app.js

You can past an optional argument ( -c ) if you want coffeescript files.

Generators

All generators are based on marionette modules, the original idea is described in the excellent book Backbone.Marionette.js: A Gentle Introduction, and the all credits go to BackboneRails.com

• Scaffold

  Generates a scaffold for a sub-app, under apps folder, running:

  $ rails generate md:scaffold Foo [-c]
  

  will generate:

  app/
  └── assets/
  └── javascripts/
      ├── apps/
      |    └── foo/
      |        └── foo_app.js
      └── entities/
          └── foo.js
  

• Submodule

  Generates a submodule under an existent app (previously generated with the Scaffold generator), running:

  $ rails generate md:submodule bar --parent foo [-c]
  

  will generate:

  app/
  └── assets/
  └── javascripts/
      ├── apps/
      |    └── foo/
      |        ├── bar/
      |            ├── bar_view.js
      |            └── bar_controller.js
      |        └── foo_app.js
      └── entities/
      |    └── foo.js
      └── templates/
          └── foo/
              └── bar/
                  └── bar.jst.dust
