Im a rails newbie (6 months with a few apps). Im also a Javascript newbie. I taught myself rails now Im teaching myself a Javascript framework. I’ve analyzed all the frameworks and have settled on learning “ember.js”.
I need to also use a maps library in my app. I have used Google maps in the past but this is not an option anymore because of Google’s liscencing and other issues.
So Ive decided to go with leaflet.
Now from a newbie’s perspective, I was curious to see if there are any conflicts between the leaflet and ember.js libraries. Will they play nice with each other?
before I invest time and energy are there any caveats I should be aware of when combining the two. Would another Javascript MVC library play better?
Are there any links tutorials with rails, ember and leaflet available? (I googled the term and couldn’t find any)
Any help to get me started would be awesome and really appreciated
A quick browse through the leaflet source suggests that it shouldn’t have any problems with ember.js Both frameworks are most likely written in a closure to solve problems of incompatibility. Seeing as they dont do the same thing (ie. like using backbone with ember) I would say you are fine.
In terms of helping you get off the ground, I would suggest you look though some tutorials on using ember with rails. A quick google search reveals plenty of walkthroughs
