backbone.jsHow can I use the Backbone.js framework to build a web application?
Backbone.js is a JavaScript library that provides an MVC framework for developing web applications. It helps to structure your application's code and provides the necessary tools for creating single-page applications.
To use Backbone.js to build a web application, you need to include the Backbone.js library in your HTML page, create a model, view, and collection, and then bind the model and view together.
For example, the following code creates a simple model:
var Person = Backbone.Model.extend({
defaults: {
name: '',
age: 0
}
});
The following code creates a view:
var PersonView = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'li',
render: function(){
this.$el.html(this.model.get('name'));
return this;
}
});
And the following code binds the model and view together:
var person = new Person({name: 'John', age: 25});
var personView = new PersonView({model: person});
$('#container').html(personView.render().el);
// Output: <li>John</li>
