pjax-ractivejs

Isomorphic javascript, PJAX with Ractive.js.

Using javascript on client and server sharing libs and templates the natural format is CommonJS (because Node.js) and thereby Browserify on the client.

This is a least viable client - server setup using pushState + Ajax; PJAX, with javascript all the way and with full template re-use using Ractive.js (kinda like Handlebars templating). ##Notes

  • Server side rendering of all route accessible pages/views
  • Twitter does something similar
  • Borrowed a lot from PJAX-Standalone
  • Doesn't return rendered html on XHR requests (like PJAX-Standalone), but json data (like Twitter) + parsed Ractive template (parsed tpl is valid json!)
  • Express.js template rendering using ractive-render

##Run it

$ npm install
$ node server.js

Browse to http://localhost:3000/index. If/when you've made changes to index.js or pjax-ractive.js you should run $ npm run build-js to generate new bundle.js
