Exoskeleton is a faster and leaner Backbone for your HTML5 apps.
All features you need for real-world app are working. All software tests are passing: (libs = underscore and jquery)
- Backbone: with and without libs
- Chaplin: with and without libs
Marionette and other popular plugins: WIP.
Default and custom builds:
make # Will create exoskeleton.js
make noutils # If you want to use Underscore and jQuery
# and don't want to include `Exoskeleton.utils`.
# Custom, like this:
cat lib/{header,events,collection,sync,history,footer}.js > exoskeleton.js
- Custom build (you can
cat
stuff now) - No hard dependencies on underscore or jquery
- Query-string router
- Speed: blazing fast when used without jQuery.
View#delegateEvents
haskeepOld
option that allows to preserve old events.- All params are allowed for model attributes, for example
model.get('constructor')
(jashkenas/backbone#1495) - Support for Bower and Component(1)
- AMD support
- Declaratively defined view events which point to non-existing handler functions are no longer tolerated / skipped. Early error is thrown instead.
-
In no-underscore environment, there are no underscore-inspired Collection methods (each, pluck etc.), but there are ES5-inspired methods:
forEach, map, filter, some, every, reduce, reduceRight, indexOf, lastIndexOf
Also, no underscore-inspired Model methods at all.
-
emulateHTTP and emulateJSON were removed
