i am just writing a simple backbone program. But i am not getting how to fetch data from backbone collection to backbone template. Complete code is written below:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Backbone tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="user">user</div>
<div class="page"></div>
<script type="text/template" id="user-list-template">
I am not able to get data on daya.key
<h1> <%= data.key %> </h1>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="underscore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="backbone.js"></script>
<script>
This is my Collection code
var Album = Backbone.Collection.extend({
url : "/data.json"
});
This is my view code
var UserList= Backbone.View.extend({
el:'.page',
template:_.template($('#user-list-template').html()),
render : function(){
var that=this;
var album= new Album();
album.fetch({
success:function(album){
var _data = {data : album.models} ;
$(that.el).html(that.template(_data));
}
})
}
});
This is my Router code
var Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
"": "home" // #help
}
});
var userList= new UserList();
var router = new Router();
router.on('route:home', function(){
userList.render();
});
Backbone.history.start();
</script>
</body>
</html>
and here is the data.json file
{ "key" : "value to print on template "}
Server needs to return a JSON array of model object for collection.fetch() request. So the data.json should look like this:
And try this collection view render implementation:
Model:
Collection:
View:
Template:
div.user view will add/remove user-list view dynamically according to collection data manipulation.
Hope this helpful.
Two modifications i would suggest
1.First check the data feild in your template. Since you are fetching data from the collection it will be array of models.
<h1> <%= data[0].key %> </h1>
or you can use a for loop iterating over the collections
2.The data.json file should look like this
