This version of Famo.us has been converted to CommonJS format and is ready for use with tools like browserify and commonjs-everywhere. The only changes are:

1. Removing the define block from each file
2. Unindenting the code in the define block
3. Modifying require calls to use relative paths (in cases where AMD root paths were used)
4. Adding this Famo.us CommonJS section to the root README.md. Below this section is the unaltered readme from the official (AMD) Famo.us repo

For an example with browserify, see the tool used to generate this version, Famo.us CommonJS Converter.

Welcome to the Famo.us GitHub repo. If you are interested in evaluating Famo.us, we are now in open beta.

Famo.us is a free and open source JavaScript platform for building mobile apps and desktop experiences. What makes Famo.us unique is its JavaScript rendering engine and 3D physics engine that gives developers the power and tools to build native quality apps and animations using pure JavaScript. Famo.us runs on iOS, Android, Kindle and Firefox devices and integrates with Angular, Backbone, Meteor and Facebook React. Famo.us University is a free live coding classroom that teaches all levels of developers how to utilize Famo.us to build beautiful experiences on every screen.

To get up and running quickly, download our starter kit. We've loaded it with examples, demos, reference documentation, and higher-level guides.

If you would like to scaffold an app with Famo.us from the command line, install our yeoman generator via npm.

npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower generator-famous
mkdir newProject
cd newProject
yo famous
grunt serve

Preparing your project for distribution is then as simple as:

grunt

Cloning this repository directly is primarily for those wishing to contribute to our codebase. Check out our contributing instructions to get involved. Since we use git submodules, all subfolders will be unpopulated unless you initialize and update your submodules. To clone from the command line, run

git clone [email protected]:Famous/famous.git path/to/folder
cd path/to/folder
git submodule update --init

Or clone with the --recursive flag for a conveninent the one-liner

git clone [email protected]:Famous/famous.git --recursive path/to/folder

Note: cloning only provides the Famo.us folder with all Famo.us code, but it does no application scaffolding. You will additionally need to create your own index.html, and include the famous.css file that is included in famous/core. Require.js is currently a hard dependency for using Famo.us.

This package contains the submodules necessary to be productive in Famo.us. They are all hosted on our github organization.
