you’re on the right path. you should have an object that controls the lifecycle of your views. i don’t like to put this in my view. i like to create a separate object for this. the thing you need to do, is unbind the events when necessary. to do this, it’s a good idea to … Read more
I use a js-framework (spine.js in my case) in my latest site. Still I make sure that non-js browsers (certainly not over zealous: think SEO) can navigate my site and digest the contents. As an example I’m going with a search-page with products being shown. Products can be paged, filtered, sorted. Of course this is … Read more
You’ll want to use: Backbone.Model.prototype.clone.call(this); This will call the original clone() method from Backbone.Model with the context of this(The current model). From Backbone docs: Brief aside on super: JavaScript does not provide a simple way to call super — the function of the same name defined higher on the prototype chain. If you override a … Read more
One way is: var ChildView = ParentView.extend({ events: function(){ return _.extend({},ParentView.prototype.events,{ ‘click’ : ‘onclickChild’ }); } }); Another would be: var ParentView = Backbone.View.extend({ originalEvents: { ‘click’: ‘onclick’ }, //Override this event hash in //a child view additionalEvents: { }, events : function() { return _.extend({},this.originalEvents,this.additionalEvents); } }); var ChildView = ParentView.extend({ additionalEvents: { ‘click’ … Read more
Is a viable RESTful choice, but obviously has the limitations you have described. Don’t do this. It would be construed by intermediaries as meaning “DELETE the (single) resource at /records/1;2;3” — So a 2xx response to this may cause them to purge their cache of /records/1;2;3; not purge /records/1, /records/2 or /records/3; proxy a 410 response … Read more
Create a new DocumentFragment to pre-render all the items, then update the DOM once. Also, favor this.$(…) over the global jQuery selector $(…). this.$ is a proxy to this.$el.find(…) which is more efficient, and less prone to select something outside of the view. Using jQuery’s core function ($()) inside a view can fail if the … Read more
You have a few things wrong here. This doesn’t do what you think it does: if(theorder == ‘nooffers’) { Request.comparator = Request.nooffers(); } That executes the nooffers method and assigns its result to Request.comparator. But sortBy returns the sorted list: nooffers : function() { return this.sortBy(function(ab) { return ab.get(‘offers’); }); } and setting that list … Read more
When you create a view, both listenTo and on add event handling. However, when the view is destroyed, the listenTo call will automatically remove the event handler. This prevents memory leaks and zombie event listeners. So, use on if you want to manage the handler yourself. Just make sure to call off. Otherwise, call listenTo.
To get something that resembles inheritance (actually composition as pointed out in comments), you can make an Airplane in your example wrap itself in a Vehicle. If you want to expose methods on Vehicle in the Airplane component, you can use a ref and connect them one-by-one. This is not exactly inheritance (it’s actually composition), … Read more
It means private fields or private methods. Methods that are only for internal use. They should not be invoked outside of the class. Private fields contain data for internal use. They should not be read or written into (directly) from outside of the class. Note: It is very important to note that just adding an … Read more
