To get Backbone Faux Server.
install with bower, bower install backbone-faux-server,
install with npm, npm install backbone-faux-server or
just include [backbone-faux-server.js](https://raw.github.com/biril/backbone-faux-server/master/backbone-faux-server.js) in your project.
In projects targetting browsers, without an AMD module loader, include backbone-faux-server.js after backbone.js: ```html ... <script type="text/javascript" src="backbone.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="backbone-faux-server.js"></script> ... ``` This will export the `fauxServer` global: ```javascript console.log("fauxServer version: " + fauxServer.getVersion()); ``` The project also includes a relevant [example app](https://github.com/biril/backbone-faux-server/tree/master/examples/books) where BFS is included through a `<script>` tag and treated as a global.
require when working with CommonJS (e.g. Node). Assuming BFS is `npm install`ed: ```javascript var fauxServer = require("backbone-faux-server"); console.log("fauxServer version: " + fauxServer.getVersion()); ``` (see [the Caveats section](#caveats--wtf) for issues related to `npm install`ing Backbone along with BFS)
Or list as a dependency when working with an AMD loader (e.g. RequireJS): ```javascript // Your module define(["backbone-faux-server"], function (fauxServer) { console.log("fauxServer version: " + fauxServer.getVersion()); }); ``` Note that the AMD definition of BFS depends on `backbone` and `underscore` so some loader setup will be required. For non-AMD compliant versions of Backbone (< 1.1.1) or Undescore (< 1.6.0), [James Burke's amdjs forks](https://github.com/amdjs) may be used instead, along with the necessary paths configuration ```javascript require.config({ baseUrl: "myapp/", paths: { "underscore": "mylibs/underscore", "backbone": "mylibs/backbone" } }); ``` or you may prefer to just [shim them](http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config-shim). The project also includes a relevant [example app](https://github.com/biril/backbone-faux-server/tree/master/examples/books-AMD) where BFS is treated as an AMD module.
