# Backbone.js generator [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/yeoman/generator-backbone.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/yeoman/generator-backbone)

Maintainer: [Revath S Kumar](https://github.com/revathskumar)

A Backbone generator for Yeoman that provides a functional boilerplate Backbone app out of the box. You also get access to a number of sub-generators which can be used to easily create individual models, views, collections and so on.

Optional RequireJS (AMD) support has recently been added as a prompt when using the generator on new projects.


## Usage

Install: `npm install -g generator-backbone`

Make a new directory and `cd` into it:
```
mkdir my-new-project && cd $_
```

Run `yo backbone`, optionally passing an app name:
```
yo backbone [app-name]
```

## Generators

Available generators:

- backbone:model
- backbone:view
- backbone:collection
- backbone:router
- backbone:all

## Typical workflow

```
yo backbone # generates your application base and build workflow
yo backbone:model blog
yo backbone:collection blog
yo backbone:router blog
yo backbone:view blog
grunt server
```

## Options

* `--coffee`
  
  Generate scaffolds in CoffeeScript.
  RequireJS is not supported with `--coffee` option for now.

* `--skip-install`

  Skips the automatic execution of `bower` and `npm` after
  scaffolding has finished.

* `--test-framework=[framework]`

  Defaults to `mocha`. Can be switched for
  another supported testing framework like `jasmine`.

* `--template-framework=[framework]`

  Defaults to `lodash` templating with grunt-contrib-jst.
  `handlebars` and `mustache` are also supported.
