Brunch with Chaplin is a skeleton (boilerplate) for [Brunch](http://brunch.io)
based on [Chaplin](http://chaplinjs.org) architecture.

Requires Brunch 1.6+.

## Getting started
* Create new project via executing `brunch new <project name>`.
Brunch with chaplin is a default application skeleton for Brunch,
so you don't need to specify `--skeleton` option for the command.
* Build the project with `brunch b` or `brunch w`.
* Open the `public/` dir to see the result.
* Write your code.

Example application built with the skeleton:
[Ost.io](https://github.com/paulmillr/ostio).

See [Chaplin site](http://chaplinjs.org) for docs and more info.

## Difference from Chaplin Boilerplate
[Chaplin Boilerplate](https://github.com/chaplinjs/chaplin-boilerplate)
is a official boilerplate all for chaplin. This skeleton is almost the same,
except a few changes:

* Added Header.
* CommonJS is used instead of AMD, because it's easier to use & debug.

## Features
* HTML5Boilerplate html & css are included.
* CoffeeScript + Stylus + Handlebars as app languages
(you can change this to anything you want)
* Backbone as main MVC/MVP library, Chaplin as meta-framework.
* Support of IE8 and up.
* Cross-module communication using the Mediator and Publish/Subscribe patterns
* Controllers for managing individual UI views
* Rails-style routes which map URLs to controller actions
* An application view as dispatcher and view manager
* Extended model, view and collection classes to avoid repetition and
enforce conventions
* Strict memory management and object disposal
* A collection with additional manipulation methods for smarter change events
* A collection view for easy and intelligent list rendering

## Authentication
If you build an application with authentication, there are some useful abstractions for it out there: https://github.com/chaplinjs/chaplin-auth.
