backbone.jsHow do I create a Backbone.js tutorial?


  1. Create a folder for your tutorial.
  2. Create a index.html file and include the necessary libraries for Backbone.js such as jQuery and underscore.js.
  3. Create a tutorial.js file and include a basic Backbone model and view.
// tutorial.js

// Model
var TutorialModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
  defaults: {
    title: 'Tutorial',
    description: 'This is a tutorial for Backbone.js'
  }
});

// View
var TutorialView = Backbone.View.extend({
  el: '#tutorial',
  template: _.template( $('#tutorial-template').html() ),
  initialize: function(){
    this.render();
  },
  render: function(){
    this.$el.html( this.template( this.model.toJSON() ) );
  }
});

// Create a new instance of the tutorial model
var tutorial = new TutorialModel();

// Create a new instance of the tutorial view
var tutorialView = new TutorialView({ model: tutorial });
  1. Create a tutorial.html file and include a basic HTML template for the view.
<!-- tutorial.html -->

<script type="text/template" id="tutorial-template">
  <h1><%= title %></h1>
  <p><%= description %></p>
</script>
  1. Create a main.js file and include the code for instantiating the model and view.
// main.js

// Create a new instance of the tutorial model
var tutorial = new TutorialModel();

// Create a new instance of the tutorial view
var tutorialView = new TutorialView({ model: tutorial });
  1. Finally, create a README.md file and include instructions on how to run the tutorial.

  2. You can also include a list of relevant links to additional resources such as the official Backbone.js documentation and tutorials.
