Twitter Flight framework for Rails

This asset gem packages the twitter flight framework for Rails.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'twitter-flight-rails'

or

gem 'twitter-flight-rails', :git => "git@github.com:yourabi/twitter-flight-rails.git"

You'll also want to add the following dependencies to your Gemfile (see the dependencies section for more details)

gem 'requirejs-rails'

gem 'es5-shim-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Dependencies

Twitter flight depdends on ES5-shim, jQuery and an AMD implementation like require.js.

One possible Rails/Require.js integration is requirejs-rails ... you'll probably want to read their documentation and follow their initial setup instructions.

ES5-shim is used to polyfill ES5 support for older browsers and JQuery for DOM manipulation API. This is provided by the es5-shim-rails gem.

Usage

Eventually you'll end up using require.js to include jquery, es5-shim, flight and your own compnents using something like this

  // here "root" is a file that contains your own components under app/assets/javascripts/root.js and accessed at /assets/root.js
  require(['jquery', 'es5-shim/shims/es5-shim', 'es5-shim/shims/es5-sham', 'twitter/flight/', 'root'], function($) {

    // this is your own boot.js file in app/assets/javascripts/boot.js accessed at /assets/boot.js
    require(['boot'], function(initialize) {
      initialize();
    });

  });

Changelog

Currently this version tracks flight v1.0.2 with a few bugs backported from master ($.browser reference in jQuery 1.9) and paths tweaked slightly.
