BackboneTS

BackboneTS is a port of BackboneJS 1.0.0 to TypeScript.

Why port Backbone if it works fine only with a definition file?

• Because I wanted to see how hard it would be to port an existing common library to TypeScript
• Because BackboneJS is very well tested to create objects .extend(), but doesn't work always correctly using 'new' and ES6 classes and extends.
• Because I wanted to change core features of Backbone and I wanted to do it in TypeScript without monkey patching.
