Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Note: This is a version of the package described below with a Dockerfile included. Credit goes to yeoman teams for creating this generator.

Backbone.js generator Build Status Coverage Status

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 serve

Also checkout this NetTuts write-up for a guide to building Backbone.js apps using this generator.

Options

  • --appPath

    Generate scaffold into a custom directory.

  • --coffee

    Generate scaffolds in CoffeeScript. By default check if project uses CoffeeScript.

  • --requirejs

    Generate scaffolds using RequireJS (AMD) Loader. By default check if project uses RequireJS.

  • --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.

A note regarding JST templates and strict mode

If you use strict mode in your app and JST templates the default grunt-jst implementation will cause your app to error out as the templates will be precompiled using a 'with' statement.

This can be addressed by changing the jst grunt task as follows:

jst: {
    compile: {
        options:
        {
            templateSettings:
            {
                variable: 'data'
            }
        },
        files: {
            '.tmp/scripts/templates.js': ['<%= yeoman.app %>/scripts/templates/*.ejs']
        }
    }
},

A result of this change is that your template variable definitions must also be updated from <%= templateVariable %> to <%= data.templateVariable %>. More information on this can be found in the Underscore documentation.
