midge 0.3.0

# Midge Midge is a quick and cheap [javascript module](http://www.adequatelygood.com/2010/3/JavaScript-Module-Pattern-In-Depth) system for the rails asset pipeline. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ``` ruby gem 'midge' ``` And then execute: ``` console $ bundle ``` Or install it yourself as: ``` console $ gem install midge ``` ## Usage First run the install. ``` console $ rails generate midge:install ``` In the initializer you setup what file extensions will go to what "module". ``` ruby # /config/initializers/midge.rb Midge.setup do |config| config.jst_processor ".midge_template", "Midge" config.js_processor ".midge", "Midge" end ``` With this setup you can create a file with the extension of ".midge.js" or ".midge.coffee" and it will be module enabled. In the file attach public functionality onto the `exports` object. For example: ``` javascript # /app/assets/javascripts/person.midge.js exports.Person = function() { this.name = "A guy"; }; ``` The output for this after running through the asset pipeline would be something like: ``` javascript (function(exports) { exports.Person = function() { this.name = "A guy"; }; }).call(this, (this.Midge || (this.Midge = {}))); ``` So with this in place you can access the `Person` object on the `Midge` namespace. ``` javascript var guy = new Midge.Person; ``` Voila! Simple albeit limited javascript modules. ## Contributing 1. Fork it 2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`) 3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Added some feature'`) 4.
