So I've been playing with Backbone Marionette and have been able to create a collectionview from json data.
Here is the Picture of what I have
,
Im trying to get each itemview to have an onclick event that will open a nested view that passes the data from the itemview via underscore templates. Here is a swapview example (not mine btw): http//jsfiddle.net/VLY4t/14/
Here is what my code looks like (the second pic) (notice I have a backbone router by the url hash, but am unable to render underscore templates). Any help is greatly appreciated.:
Working Example would be: The Dog's breed is <%= name %>
The client side template and UI is this:
<script type="text/template", id="dogs-template">
<ul><ul>
</script>
<script type="text/template", id="dog-template">
<a href="dogs/<%= name %>"> <%= name %>
</script>
<script type="text/template", id="play-template">
p This dog's breed is <%= name %>
</script>
And the Javascript is:
//Im serving data via RESTful JSON, but the data looks like this
var dogs = [{name: 'yorkie'}, {name: 'pitbull'}, {name: 'dobberman'}, etc]
App = new Backbone.Marionette.Application();
App.addRegions({
mainRegion: "#content",
playRegion: "#play"
});
//Call the backbone history here
App.on("initialize:after", function(options){
if (Backbone.history){
Backbone.history.start({pushState: true});
}
});
//Call the Controller
Controller = {
};
// Start the models n collections
Dog = Backbone.Model.extend({
});
Dogs = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: Dog,
url: '/jonas',
});
DogView = Backbone.Marionette.ItemView.extend({
template: "#dog-template",
tagName: 'li',
initialize: function(){
//var moot = _.bindAll(this.model);
},
events: {
"click" : function() {
//show new region here
App.playRegion.show(theplayview);
}
}
});
PlayView = Backbone.Marionette.ItemView.extend({
template: '#play-template'
});
DogsView = Backbone.Marionette.CollectionView.extend({
template: "#dogs-template",
itemView: DogView
})
var doggies = new Dogs();
var bob = doggies.fetch({async: false});
var doggyview = new DogsView({collection: doggies});
App.mainRegion.show(doggyview);
var theplayview = new PlayView(this.model);
MyRouter = Backbone.Marionette.AppRouter.extend({
controller: Controller,
appRoutes: {
"": "route1",
"testrouter": "route2",
"testrouter#dogs": "route3",
"testrouter#dogs/:id": "route4",
},
});
App.addInitializer(function(){
console.log("Router is on")
new MyRouter();
});
App.on("initialize:after", function(){
});
App.start();
