Learning Backbone

Initial commit was made over the weekend. Everything else was my further experiments. New stuff I've learned:

• PHP: Autoloader, View handling (MVC), RESTful handling
• Backbone.js: the whole framework (new nothing about it)

Stories

• As an admin I can add users. A user has a name
• As an admin I can delete users
• As an admin I can assign users to a group they aren’t already part of
• As an admin I can remove users from a group
• As an admin I can create groups
• As an admin I can delete groups when they no longer have members

Preface

• UI is based on Bootstrap
• All CSS class that are used in JavaScript must be prefixed with 'js'
• Create file watcher for /assets/css/application.less (to render CSS)
• Requests are handled in this manner: any-root-path/controller/action[/var/value/var2/value2/]
• Edit user name by clicking on it

TODO

• Add subview/model/collection for adding/removing user from a group
• Create RESTful handling in application wide perspective
• Learn Backbone routers and implement tabs in dynamic way (without reloading page)
• Implement Groups part
• Implement PHP Less parser (removing the need to setup development environment)
• Optimize writing to DB (only at the end of application)
• Debug: if users list is empty creating new ones only the first View is rendered. For other to appear needs page reload. Data is successfully send and saved.
• Add blur action for name editing (alternative saving to clicking "enter")
