backbone.jsWhat is Backbone.js?
Backbone.js is a JavaScript library that provides an MVC framework for building single-page web applications. It is designed to give 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.
var AppView = Backbone.View.extend({
el: '#container',
initialize: function(){
this.render();
},
render: function(){
this.$el.html("Hello World!");
}
});
var appView = new AppView();
Output example
Hello World!
The code above creates a view with an element attached to it. The el
property is a reference to the element in the DOM that the view will be attached to. The initialize
function is called when the view is instantiated and the render
function is called to render the view.
Parts of the code:
var AppView
: This is a variable that is used to create the view.Backbone.View.extend
: This is a method used to extend the Backbone.View prototype.el
: This is a property that is used to reference the element in the DOM that the view will be attached to.initialize
: This is a function that is called when the view is instantiated.render
: This is a function that is used to render the view.
