Jackbone, a Framework to use Backbone.js with jQueryMobile

Hi,

There is a bunch of solutions to integrate JQM with Backbone, most in the form of demo applications.

But instead of having a bunch of people having to maintain their own copy of this code, I found it would be interesting to provide that as an external library.

Jackbone is aiming to make JQM + Backbone multipages client applications painless.

Main features include:
  • a JQM-specialized View class
  • a Router class
  • a ViewManager that keeps rendered Views alive for a few minutes
  • an optional Controller interface
  • few utility classes:
    • the Listview helper
    • aiming to perform intelligent update of a Listview according to changes in its associated collection.
