Command line tool for creating backbone.js applications

capt's Issues

Error: use fs.watch api instead

In project.coffee:

replace:

fs.watchFile Path.join(@root, source), {persistent: true, interval: 500}, (curr, prev) =>

*with:

fs.watch Path.join(@root, source), {persistent: true, interval: 500}, (curr, prev) =>

generate model - wrongly named backbone.js initialize method

capt generate model user ---> (generates following coffeescript)

class User extends Backbone.Model
initializer: ->
# ...

@user = User

Initialization method for Backbone.js models should be initialize, not initializer.

Selectable Port

Can we select the port we want the server to listen to? Rails is using 3000 on my dev environment. Had to hack into the module and alter the main.coffee file to listen to a different port, perhaps that could be overridden by an option?

capt watch - not existing ./spec/index.jst

Hi! I have a problem with capt watch.
I have actual libs:

Ravbook:~ rav$ node -v
v0.4.6
Ravbook:~ rav$ coffee -v
CoffeeScript version 1.0.1
Ravbook:~ rav$ npm -v
0.3.18

with capt 0.5.0

npm info build Success: [email protected]

New capt project has test dir

Ravbook:~ rav$ capt new captproject
 * Creating folders
 * Downloading libraries
Ravbook:~ rav$ cd captproject/
Ravbook:captproject rav$ ls
app     index.html  lib     test
config.yml  index.jst   public

but capt watch looks for spec/index.jst

Ravbook:captproject rav$ capt watch
Rebuilt project...

Documentation please

This is a great tool, but I'm scratching my head to figure out how to include partials and some other things as well. Definitely could use more documentation.

segfault on ubuntu 10.10

hi, I am getting a segfault when trying to start capt server or capt watch with the latest version of capt.
"capt new" works just fine.

Uglify

Why not to use uglify for js compression?

Getting error "Error: ENOENT, No such file or directory..."

I am following your tutorial but when I try to create the view I get this error. I did create the folder and re-ran the view generation, but then I get another error and the server will not start at all.

What could be the reason?

• Using coffeescript version 1.0.1

throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

Any plan for UglifyJS?

Seems like UglifyJS is the best JavaScript parser / mangler / compressor / beautifier library on NodeJS.

It will be great if you can add it to the project.

Getting started

Hey Ben,

I'm interested in using (and hopefully contributing to) capt. I've used backbone a bit, but am pretty new to coffee and node. Can you point me in the right direction?

I looked online for a reference about node loadpaths, but couldn't find anything that seemed to help.

I am on OSX - I installed node via homebrew, and coffeescript via npm. I cloned this repo.
