Backbone.js is a JavaScript library that can be used for both frontend and backend development. It provides structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
For frontend development, Backbone.js provides the structure necessary to create single-page applications. For example, the following code creates a basic view that renders a template and adds it to the page when instantiated:
var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
render: function(){
this.$el.html(this.template());
return this;
}
});
var myView = new MyView();
$("body").append(myView.render().el);
For backend development, Backbone.js can be used to create a RESTful API. This API can then be used to communicate with the frontend. For example, the following code creates a basic model that can be used to communicate with a server-side API:
var MyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
urlRoot: '/api/mymodel',
initialize: function(){
this.on('change', function(){
this.save();
});
}
});
var myModel = new MyModel();
myModel.fetch(); // fetches data from the server-side API
In summary, Backbone.js can be used for both frontend and backend development. It provides the structure necessary to create single-page applications on the frontend and a RESTful API on the backend.
