AwesomeRouter: a cool Backbone.js router class
# AwesomeRouter: A class that I've been using throughout a few Backbone.js apps I've built.
#
# It adds 2 features: an event that gets fired when one calls `navigate` (aptly named
# "navigate"), so you can bind things to when a URL gets triggered. And a "before filter"
# method `before`, which you can use to run things before every a route gets triggered.
#
# This could easily be extended to have after filters too, or to only trigger a route
# upon @before returning something that's not false.
class AwesomeRouter extends Backbone.Router

Sinatra like routes in Rails controllers

Sinatra like routes in Rails controllers

A proof of concept of having Sinatra like routes inside your controllers.

How to use

Since the router is gone, feel free to remove config/routes.rb. Then add the file below to lib/action_controller/inline_routes.rb inside your app.
