Thorax is an opinionated JavaScript framework combining Backbone and Handlebars for building large-scale web applications, with views, data binding, and a Yeoman generator. It was maintained by Walmart Labs and is now archived and unsupported.
Use cases
- build large-scale backbone web applications
- data binding with handlebars templates
- structure a backbone.js app with views and collections
- scaffold a backbone app with yeoman
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy Backbone + Handlebars codebase already using Thorax
When to avoid
- starting a new web project
- you need maintained software with security updates
- you want modern frontend tooling
