## Running

To re-compile the files, run:

	# from labs/dependency-examples/thorax_lumbar
	npm install
	npm start

Lumbar will create a `public/base.js` file that contains the core libraries needed to run the application, as well as a master router that listens to all routes defined in `lumbar.json`. When one of those routes is visited, the appropriate module file is loaded-- in this case, `public/todomvc.js`.
