Introduction

This project should provide some basis to create your own webapplication under node.js using express.js in combination with backbone.js.

Getting started

1. Clone the project:

   git clone [email protected]:jamuhl/express-backbone-boilerplate.git

2. run npm install

3. start the app node server.js

4. direct your browser to localhost:3000 or localhost:3000/test to run the tests

In order to use jake and docco you should global install the packages:

• npm install -g jake
• npm install -g docco

now you can run:

• jake client:buildto concat and minify the JavaScripts for production use
• jake doc to create the documentation (output will be in build folder)
