This library adds AMD (via Almond) support to Sprockets.

The AMD format is a way of encapsulating JavaScript libraries, ensuring they have to explicitly define their dependencies.

This library adds AMD support to Sprockets, so it can wrap up JavaScript files as modules, and serve them appropriately. This is done by using define_module to declare a new module. You should put your files under app/assets/javascripts/modules/.

define_module(["backbone"], function(BB) {});

Sprockets will then postprocess your JS and insert the correct logical asset name as module name.

define("tickets/controller", ["backbone"], function(BB) {});

This is just syntactic sugar on top of the goodness that AMD already provides through Almond.

1. Add gem 'sprockets-almond' to your Gemfile
2. Add //= require sprockets/almond to your application.js
3. Require all the modules, e.g.: //= require_tree ./models
