Backbone does not support this out of the box, but you have all the tools to make that happen. If you look at Backbone.sync you will see that it calls toJSON on your model to get the actual data to send. Now you might have to tweak this out, but here is the gist of … Read more
My research results: Single request (data included) The request contains metadata. The data is a property of metadata and encoded (for example: Base64). Pros: transactional everytime valid (no missing metadata or data) Cons: encoding makes the request very large Examples: Twitter GitHub Imgur Single request (multipart) The request contains one or more parts with metadata … Read more
In case anyone else is looking for a solution to this problem like I was, I’m posting what I ended up doing. If you’re using the boilerplate backbone.js, then you will have an initialize() function in router.js. I modified my initialize() function to look like the following: initialize = function () { var app_router; app_router … Read more
Before anything else I’d suggest taking a look at thoughtbot’s Backbone.js on Rails book, which is a great starting point, although aimed at an intermediate to advanced audience. I bought this book having already worked with rails but as a total backbone.js beginner and it has served me very well. Beyond that, there are some … Read more

Also, there are some general time-tested code organization practices which you can apply. But I’ll explain the views first. Views Views in Backbone are … Read more
Just in case anybody stumbled upon this and does not know, jQuery makes it super easy to send AJAX calls. Since React is just JavaScript it will work just like any other jQuery AJAX call. React’s own documentation uses jQuery to make the AJAX call so I assume that’s good enough for most purposes regardless … Read more
The following should work: var AdventureBooks = new Books(); AdventureBooks.url=”/books/adventure”;
If you want to access to passed options – just save them: initialize: function (options) { this.options = options || {}; } If you use ES6: initialize (options = {}) { this.options = options; } If you want to save passed options for all Backbone.View‘s you can override constructor like ncksllvn suggested below.
“defaults” can also be a function. var Criteria = Backbone.Model.extend({ defaults: function () { return { “status”: “Normal”, “priority”: “Normal”, “tags”: new Array() } } }); This would create a new array when a new Criteria is instantiated. See: http://backbonejs.org/#Model-defaults
