backbone-node-client

Use backbone in backend in node style

how to use

a mixin to use backbone in node style

these build-in functions has been modified, last parameter is required as a callback function

all the backbone behavior has been maintained, meaning all the events, validations

in case of success and failure, cb will be triggered in node convention ==> cb(err, model, resp)

Model#fetch ==> function (options, cb)

Model#save ==> function (options, cb)

Model#destroy ==> function (key, val, options, cb)

Collection#fetch ==> function (options, cb)

Collection#create ==> function (model, options, cb)

implement this Model#request and Collection#request for network requests

request: function (method, params) {
    method: create|update|patch|read|delete
    params: { url, error, success }
}

example

var backboneNodeClient = require('backbone-node-client');

var Model = backboneNodeClient.Model.extend({
    urlRoot: '/root'
});

var Collection = backboneNodeClient.Collection.extend({
    model: Model,
    url: Model.prototype.urlRoot
});

var model = new Model({id: 123});
var collection = new Collection(model);

model.fetch(cb);
model.save('anotherKey', 'anotherValue', cb);
model.save({anotherKey: 'anotherValue'}, cb);
model.destroy(function () {});

collection.fetch(cb);
collection.create(new Model({id: 456}), cb);
