backbone.jsHow do I use Handlebars with Backbone.js?
Handlebars is a popular templating library that can be used with Backbone.js to create dynamic HTML. It allows developers to write HTML templates with embedded Handlebars expressions that will be rendered with data from a Backbone model.
Here is an example of how to use Handlebars with Backbone.js:
// Create a Backbone Model
var UserModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
defaults: {
name: 'John Doe',
age: 25
}
});
// Create a Handlebars template
var userTemplate = Handlebars.compile('<p>Name: {{name}}</p><p>Age: {{age}}</p>');
// Create a View using the Model and Template
var UserView = Backbone.View.extend({
model: UserModel,
template: userTemplate,
render: function() {
this.$el.html(this.template(this.model.toJSON()));
return this;
}
});
// Create an instance of the Model and View
var userModel = new UserModel();
var userView = new UserView({model: userModel});
// Render the View
userView.render();
// Output
<p>Name: John Doe</p><p>Age: 25</p>
In this example, we created a Backbone Model with a name
and age
property. Then we created a Handlebars template using expressions to retrieve the values from the Model. Finally, we created a View that uses the Model and Template to render the HTML.
