packaged for use with node-browserify.
Note: this is the same as backbone-browserify, but with the dependency on lodash instead of underscore. This may or may not be useful to you. I'm also told that newever versions of backbone work with browserify out of the box. YMMV.
Removed require('jquery') in Backbone source for $ assignment. Didn't make sense, see #6
npm install backbone-browserifyImportant: You must require jquery-browserify, 'br-jquery', or Zepto (untested) with Browserify before you require Backbone, just like normal.
Just add it to your browserify require list and use it! Make sure you also have Underscore installed via npm as Backbone will automatically require it.
browserify({
require : [ 'jquery-browserify', 'backbone-browserify' ]
});... or to alias it to just "backbone":
browserify({
require : { jquery: 'jquery-browserify', backbone: 'backbone-browserify' }
});app.configure(function(){
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.methodOverride());
app.use(app.router);
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.use(browserify({
require : { jquery: 'jquery-browserify', backbone: 'backbone-browserify' }
}));
});***Include browserify.js like this first: <script src="browserify.js"></script>
var $ = jQuery = require('jquery-browserify'),
Backbone = require('backbone-browserify'),
MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
el: 'body',
initialize: function() {
this.render();
},
render: function() {
$(this.el).html('<h1>Oh hi</h1>');
}
});
$(document).ready(function() { var myView = new MyView(); });... or if you aliased it to 'backbone':
var $ = jQuery = require('jquery'),
Backbone = require('backbone'),
MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
el: 'body',
initialize: function() {
this.render();
},
render: function() {
$(this.el).html('<h1>Oh hi</h1>');
}
});
$(document).ready(function() { var myView = new MyView(); });
