generator-backstrap
A Yeoman generator for kickass Backbone, Bootstrap, and CoffeeScript-powered apps
What is Backstrap?
Backstrap is the silly portmanteau I've given to my client-side web framework/toolkit. This is the product of months of learning and experimentation with the included technologies.
A Backstrap application looks something like this:
- Backbone JavaScript MVC framework with LayoutManager plugin
- Follows Backbone Boilerplate best practices
- Bootstrap 3.0 front-end CSS+JS framework
- Handlebars template engine
- Written primarily in CoffeeScript
- All wired up for RequireJS optimization
- Using Grunt task runner to develop, build, and test
- Optionally deployed on Parse backend-as-a-service
