Question

I just installed the rails-backbone gem and then rails g backbone:install.

I see a list of javascript references to backbone on application.js but it does not copy them to the project and I’m not sure if this is normal.

//= require backbone
//= require backbone_rails_sync
//= require backbone_datalink
//= require backbone/myapp

If this is normal, where is it possible to find backbone_rails_sync and backbone_datalink. I’m afraid that by simple searching will maybe not find the same version tested for this gem?

Answer 1

These files are inside the gem and served through Rails Asset Pipeline.

You could find them in the gem souce.
