[Feature Request] Add client side js frameworks integration
Hi!
I'm using rails_apps_composer almost 100% of the time and it's great!
I have a request and it's based on the latest trend that more and more Rails developers are moving away using Rails to generate view and leaving more the model-controller back-end to Rails while all the views and the UI being handled by one of the following JS frameworks (I listed the gems instead for easy integration):
https://rubygems.org/gems/angular-rails
https://rubygems.org/gems/rails-backbone
https://rubygems.org/gems/batman-rails
https://rubygems.org/gems/knockoutjs-rails
https://rubygems.org/gems/ember-rails
Obviously, the most popular of all is the backbone one.
As you can see by the number of downloads for rails-backbone, it's extremely popular and as you may know the trend will only become bigger. The rails-backbone gem is half way to become even more popular than Padrino!
I think for the growth of your gem, it's a must to integrate these fantastic frameworks into rails_apps_composer.
Ember may be the one most appropriate for rails. I'm playing with it now. On Feb 16, 2013 2:51 PM, "Daniel Kehoe" [email protected] wrote:
No votes for ember.js?

I strongly support adding ember-rails. even ember should be considered as default for rails.
+1 for ember.especially since it also supports easier mobile integration and lightweight.
Although I find Ember more appealing in a number of ways, it seems that the industry is moving heavily toward Angular. It appears that it will be the future, regardless of the virtues of other frameworks.
I think ember is the way to go. In any case, if railsapps is going to have a config option for a js framework, it should include a decent curated test setup. Reply here if anyone is interested and maybe I can try to out a generator together. On Oct 9, 2014 6:56 AM, "Brandon Zylstra" [email protected] wrote:

This feature request (to add support for a JS framework) was opened two years ago. Initially, the votes were for backbone. Any interest still for backbone? Or are Angular and Ember the preferred choices?
It would be nice to offer a menu with choices. I recommend building a basic starter app with Angular or Ember. That will serve as a reference implementation and a test suite. I'm happy to help anyone who wants to implement the option.
