Vertebrae comes with a few handy generators which should help you to get up–and–running quickly as well as provide you with a few shortcuts all the way during development.

Similar functionality is provided by the backbone-on-rails and the backbone-rails gems. In comparison to these two gems, Vertebrae takes an (even) more opinionated approach and tries to identify some best practices as well.

vertebrae-i18n makes the Rails locale strings available across your application and provides a few helpers. A similar functionality is provided by the babilu and i18n-js gems.

vertebrae-validations makes the Rails validations easily usable in backbone models. It also provides a few helpers to easy live validations on forms as well as a middleware to validate against the server. Similiar functionality is provided by the client_side_validations gem.
