Ratchet v2.0 WIP
Prototype mobile apps with simple HTML, CSS and JS components.
Getting Started
- Clone the repo
git clone git@github.com:maker/ratchet.git
or just download the bundled CSS and JS - Read the docs to learn about the components and how to get a prototype on your phone
- We will have example apps to check out very soon!
Take note that our master branch is our active, unstable development branch and that if you're looking to download a stable copy of the repo, check the tagged downloads.
Support
Ratchet was developed to support iOS 5+ for iPhone. Questions or discussions about Ratchet should happen in the Google group or hit us up on Twitter @goRatchet.

Troubleshooting
A small list of "gotchas" are provided below for designers and developers starting to work with Ratchet
- Ratchet is designed to respond to touch events from a mobile device. In order to use mouse click events (for desktop browsing and testing), you have a few options:
- Enable touch event emulation in Chrome (found in the overrides tab in the web inspector preferences)
- Use a javascript library like fingerblast.js to emulate touch events (ideally only loaded from desktop devices)
- Script tags containing javascript will not be executed on pages that are loaded with push.js. If you would like to attach event handlers to elements on other pages, document-level event delegation is a common solution.
- Ratchet uses XHR requests to fetch additional pages inside the application. Due to security concerns, modern browsers prevent XHR requests when opening files locally (aka using the file:/// protocol); consequently, Ratchet does not work when opened directly as a file.
- A common solution to this is to simply serve the files from a local server. One convenient way to achieve this is to run
python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port>
to serve up the files in the current directory tohttp://localhost:<port>
