Thorax.Application

A subclass of Thorax.ViewController usually created just once. The Application object automatically subclasses the following classes for you:

• LayoutView
• View
• Model
• Collection
• Router
• ViewController

Making them available on the Application object, for instance Application.View. The following registry methods are also aliased on the Application object:

• template
• view
• model
• collection
• router

A simple hello world example:

var Application = new Thorax.Application();
Application.start();
Application.setView(new Application.View({
  template: "Hello World!"
}));
$("body").append(Application.el);

start application.start([options])

Calls Backbone.history.start with the given options and then fires a ready event on the application object.
