Application

Skull. Application

new Application()

Skull.Application is very basic sample of application. It does several things:

  1. creates registry and registers itself as 'app'
  2. detects domain and other passes URL to UrlProvider
  3. instantiates syncer
  4. instantiates router
  5. Detects if debug mode is on
  6. renders root view and starts Backbone.history, if autostart option passed

App dispatches route changes. Bind to path event to handle them.
