Brunch with Banana Pancakes

Banana Pancakes is a Brunch skeleton that utilizes Bootstrap, Backbone, Handlebars, and LESS / SASS. It also includes Backbone.Mediator for Pub/Sub patterns.

Getting started

• Install (if you don't have them):
  • Node.js: brew install node on OS X
  • Brunch: npm install -g brunch
  • Bower: npm install -g bower
  • Brunch plugins and Bower dependencies: npm install & bower install.
• Run:
  • brunch watch --server — watches the project with continuous rebuild. This will also launch HTTP server with pushState.
  • brunch build --production — builds minified project for production
• Learn:
  • public/ dir is fully auto-generated and served by HTTP server. Write your code in app/ dir.
  • Place static files you want to be copied from app/assets/ to public/.
  • Brunch site, Backbone site

Customize Bootstrap Stylesheets

All Bootstrap stylesheet files can be found separated into:

vendor/styles/bootstrap

They're in original LESS format in order to be easily customized, and compiled together with the app build.

Exclude Bootstrap jQuery plugins

jQuery plugins used by Bootstrap are all listed (in the right order) inside the config.coffee file. Comment out the ones you want to exclude from the build with a #. (Pay attention to dependencies!)

Credit

Banana Pancakes was spawned from Brunch with Eggs and Bacon because it's versions of jQuery, Underscore, Backbone, and Bootstrap were all out-of-date.
