Running locally

To run locally you will need to install Node.js and grunt.

# Clone the repository.
git clone git@github.com:FlorentDancy/damoviequizz.git

# Change directory into it.
cd damoviequizz

# Install the Node dependencies and Bower dependencies.
npm install -q

# Run the server
grunt server

Installation problem

If you encounter such an error :

# May appear when running `grunt server`
Loading "server.js" tasks...ERROR
>> TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
Warning: Task "server" not found. Use --force to continue.

... then you need to do as follow :

nano /node_modules/grunt-bbb-server/package.json

# Now you need to change the version of the http-proxy dependancy, by writing
"http-proxy": "~1.11.1",

# Then you need to run the following commands
cd /node_modules/grunt-bbb-server
npm update

# Finally, you can check that all this process worked by doing...
cat /node_modules/grunt-bbb-server/node_modules/http-proxy/package.json

# ... and check that the version is now 1.11.1

source of the solution

Backbone Boilerplate

backbone-boilerplate

The foundation of the entire application structure and the deployment assets. Along with grunt-bbb the application can be tested locally and built for production with the same tool.

Backbone LayoutManager

backbone.layoutmanager

Used for the general layout and View arrangement. Is also used to facilitate re-rendering and collection lists. One single layout is created throughout the lifespan of the application and instead the individual regions are updated.

Backbone CollectionCache

backbone.collectioncache.js

This is a work-in-progress Backbone plugin to provide a better caching mechanism for Collections. It's used within this application to provide client-side caching in both sessionStorage (persist refresh) and inside memory for faster lookups.

Lo-Dash Template Loader

ldsh

An AMD plugin for loading and inlining optimized Lo-Dash templates. Used to load the templates in a very relative and component-driven way.

Twitter Bootstrap

bootstrap

Made the design look significantly better than the original. Responsible for the entire UI layer.
