Creating model in vanilla js
var Person = function(config) {
this.name = config.name;this.age = config.age;this.occupation = config.occupation;
}
Person.prototype.work = function() {
return this.name + ' is working';
}
Model
var Person = Backbone.Model.extend({
defaults: {
age: 20,
name: 'Barry Lavides',occupation: 'Web Developer'
},work: function() {
return this.get('name') + ' is working';
}
});
Collection
var People = Backbone.View.extend({
model: Person
})
model: Person
Views
var PersonView = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'li',
id: 'person',
initialize: () {
},
render: function() {
}
})
tagName: 'li',id: 'person',
initialize: () {},render: function() {}
Views
var PeopleView = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'ul,
initialize: () {
},
render: function() {
}
})
tagName: 'ul,
initialize: () {},render: function() {}
Route
var Route = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
'':'index'
},index: function() {}
})
DOM Events
var PersonView = Backbone.View.extend({
events: {
'click': 'submit'
},submit: function() {}
})
Pub/Sub

var PersonView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function() {
this.model.on('change', this.render, this);this.model.on('destroy', this.remove, this);
