Question

I have a project which is heavily JavaScript based (e.g. node.js, backbone.js, etc.). I’m using hashbang urls like /#!/about and have read the google ajax crawlable spec. I’ve done a wee bit of headless UI testing with zombie and can easily conceive of how this could be done by setting a slight delay and returning static content back to the google bot. But I don’t really want to implement this from scratch and was hoping there was a pre-existing library that fits in with my stack. Know of one?

EDIT: At time of writing I don’t think this exists. However, rendering using backbone (or similar) on server and client is a plausible approach (even if not a direct answer). So I’m going to mark that as answer although there may be better solutions in the future.

Answer 1

There is one implementation using node.js and Backbone.js on the server and browser
