Initializing - mjumbewu/guide-to-backbonejs-with-django GitHub Wiki

What I do when I create a new JavaScript project:

• Create a libs directory for 3rd-party libraries

• Download Backbone, Underscore, Bootstrap, jQuery, and sometimes Mustache, Leaflet

• Create an index.html file, and include all the libraries

• Come up with a namespace name for my project

• Create models.js, routes.js, cause I know I'm gonna need them

• Create app.js for my application conductor (controller?) object

    var <Namespace> = <Namespace> || {};
  
    (function(NS) {
  
      NS.App = function() {
        // Create model caches and top-level views here.
      };
  
    })(<Namespace>);
  

• At the bottom of index.html, load the JS files, and create an app object:

    <script>
      $(function() {
        <Namespace>.app = new <Namespace>.App()
      });
    </script>
