Chaplin is a lightweight, structured JavaScript application architecture built on Backbone.js for developing scalable, maintainable single‑page applications. It provides MVC organization, clean routing, memory management, controllers for screen logic, and modular design to address shortcomings in raw Backbone. Chaplin was derived from a real application (moviepilot.com) and is written in CoffeeScript with builds in JavaScript.

Features

  • Introduces Controllers atop Backbone to separate routing from screen logic
  • Uses Mediator pattern for cross‑module publish/subscribe communication
  • Implements automatic disposal of models, views, and controllers for memory management
  • Offers structured MVC components: Application, Router, Dispatcher, Layout, Controller, View, Model, Collection
  • Written in CoffeeScript but builds produce JS, enabling both languages usage
  • Encourages scalable architecture and best‑practices organization for complex SPAs
