Would be great to use this via npm for browserified projects. Thanks!

Soon will be done (in next release).

@dazld can you please explain use cases with jbone in node environment? This is unit/behavior testing or other cases? Why not use jquery?

dazld commented 10 years ago

That's great news.

Use case is as a drop in for $ when using backbone, as you mention on project description. Full fat jquery leaves me feeling bad in the stomach, and sometimes going on a diet is good for general health :)

It doesn't run in node on server, but is packaged into the bundle for clientside with the rest of the commonJS code. If you haven't tried browserify, would really recommend trying it - very smooth workflow, and having most of the node API available in browser is extremely cool (streams, events, etc). Seems like much less hassle than requireJS, and many, many awesome packages available on npm for frontend. Different philosophy, but really gets the job done. Let me know if you'd like an example!
