+# sammyjs-rails
+
+Rails asset pipeline integration for the [Sammy.js](http://sammyjs.org/) library. The gem includes the non-minified
+source for simple usage in development mode. The asset pipeline will minify it in production.
+
+Sammy.js is a tiny JavaScript framework developed to ease the pain and provide a basic structure for developing
+JavaScript applications.Sammy tries to achieve this by providing a small ‘core’ framework and an ever-growing list of
+plugins for specific functionality. The core includes a simple API for defining applications which are made up
+primarily of routes and events. By driving application development around a small and specific API, Sammy attempts to
+keep your code organized while still allowing a lot of breathing room to define your own style and structure.
+
+Please see the [Sammy.js documentation](http://sammyjs.org/intro) for more details.
+
+## Usage
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+    gem 'sammyjs-rails'
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install sammyjs-rails
+
+Add the following directive to your Javascript manifest file (application.js):
+
+    //= require sammy
+
+## Versioning

+  // A location proxy is a prototype that conforms to a simple interface. The purpose

+  // or 'external state' changes.
+  //
+  // The `DefaultLocationProxy` watches for changes to the path of the current window and
+  // is also able to set the path based on changes in the application. It does this by
+  // using different methods depending on what is available in the current browser. In
+  // the latest and greatest browsers it used the HTML5 History API and the `pushState`
+  // `popState` events/methods. This allows you to use Sammy to serve a site behind normal
+  // URI paths as opposed to the older default of hash (#) based routing. Because the server
+  // can interpret the changed path on a refresh or re-entry, though, it requires additional
+  // support on the server side. If you'd like to force disable HTML5 history support, please
+  // use the `disable_push_state` setting on `Sammy.Application`. If pushState support
+  // is enabled, `DefaultLocationProxy` also binds to all links on the page. If a link is clicked
+  // that matches the current set of routes, the URL is changed using pushState instead of
+  // fully setting the location and the app is notified of the change.
+  //
+  // If the browser does not have support for HTML5 History, `DefaultLocationProxy` automatically
+  // falls back to the older hash based routing. The newest browsers (IE, Safari > 4, FF >= 3.6)
+  // support a 'onhashchange' DOM event, thats fired whenever the location.hash changes.
+  // In this situation the DefaultLocationProxy just binds to this event and delegates it to

+    // ### Example

+    //                callback();
+    //              } else {

+    //
+    // ### Example
+    //
+    //      app.get('/chain',function(context,next) {

+    //      chain1
+    //      chain2

+    //
+    //

+    //      link1
+    //      link2
+    //      Running onComplete
+    //
+    //
+    // It really comes to play when doing asynchronous:
+    //
+    //      app.get('/chain',function(context,next) {
+    //        $.get('/my/url',function() {
+    //          console.log('chain1');

+    //     });
+    //
+    // ### Arguments

+  // `RenderContext` objects are not usually created directly, rather they are
+  // instantiated from an `Sammy.EventContext` by using `render()`, `load()` or
+  // `partial()` which all return `RenderContext` objects.
+  //
+  // `RenderContext` methods always returns a modified `RenderContext`
+  // for chaining (like jQuery itself).
+  //
+  // The core magic is in the `then()` method which puts the callback passed as
+  // an argument into a queue to be executed once the previous callback is complete.
+  // All the methods of `RenderContext` are wrapped in `then()` which allows you
+  // to queue up methods by chaining, but maintaining a guaranteed execution order
+  // even with remote calls to fetch templates.

+  // ### Example
+  //
+  //       $.sammy(function() {
+  //         // The context here is this Sammy.Application
+  //         this.get('#/:name', function() {

+  //
+  // * `app` The `Sammy.Application` this event is called within.
+  // * `verb` The verb invoked to run this context/route.
+  // * `path` The string path invoked to run this context/route.
+  // * `params` An Object of optional params to pass to the context. Is converted
+  //   to a `Sammy.Object`.
+  // * `target` a DOM element that the event that holds this context originates
+  //   from. For post, put and del routes, this is the form element that triggered
+  //   the route.
+  //
