A Ruby gem that vendors Backbone.js and Underscore.js into the Rails 3.1+ asset pipeline and provides generators for models, routers, views, and templates. It scaffolds client-side Backbone code that talks to Rails CRUD backends.
Use cases
- add backbone.js to a rails app
- generate backbone models and collections for rails resources
- scaffold a single-page CRUD app on rails
- set up backbone directory structure and namespacing in rails asset pipeline
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Rails 3.1+ app using Backbone.js and the sprockets asset pipeline
- you want quick generators for Backbone models, routers, and views wired to Rails scaffolds
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - Backbone.js is legacy and modern Rails uses different frontend tooling
- you use Rails without the sprockets asset pipeline or prefer React/Vue/Hotwire
