#What is this?

BartNOW demonstrates using WinJS to create a practical application using the WinJS framework with Backbone's MVC features.

#How does it all come together?

Each page is a composed of static HTML, CSS and Javascript. Navigation, models and views are defined in index.js. Using WinJS for its UI components and data binding, we can host all the pages within index.html by rendering our html in a single div.

#Setup

Not much to do! Simply host the root folder (containing index.html) on a static website and the app will do the rest by calling the custom BartNOW apis.

To run the app locally, checkout the sedouard/bartnow-backend nodejs project. Run the backend server locally on your port of interest.

Inside index.js, change the first line of code starting with $.ajaxprefilter to your local server and port (like http://localhost:8080).
