CakePHP Backbone Plugin
=======================

[](#cakephp-backbone-plugin)

This is a very simple CakePHP plugin enabling you to add Backbone to your cake projects.

It does very little apart from supply you with the backbone base files, and offer you and a 'controller component' with a customized 'json'.

This will mate sure Cake controller set model properties will be output in the style Backbone is happy with.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

In order to have the base files automatically loaded you need to install Mark Story's excellent 'Asset Compress' plugin

AssetCompress is available at [github](http://github.com/markstory/asset_compress)

### Installation

[](#installation)

In your bootstrap.php make sure you include the plugin

```
CakePlugin::load('CakephpBackbone');

```

Make sure you add set the correct files in your compress\_asset.ini

```
[js]
paths[] = /cake/Backbone/

[backbone-base.js]
files[] = lib/jquery-min.js
files[] = lib/underscore-min.js
files[] = lib/backbone-min.js

```

You can then show that you are going to use the Backbone component and asset compress helper in your controllers.

```
var $helpers = array('AssetCompress.AssetCompress');

public $components = array (
	'RequestHandler',
	'CakephpBackbone.Backbone'
);

```

Then add the backbone files to your view.

```

```
