I am creating an application to get some experience in jQuery Mobile and backbone. I have made a "restful" API with node.js that handles the data I need. It works fine with all my static pages I made in index.html. But when I need to create a page with data from a certain id I am a bit lost.
For example when I want to display all items(/items) I have a data-role=page with id items that list all items, but when I need to go to a detailed page for each item (/items/1) i want to create that details page whenever a user wants details on an item, in other words when a user visit the url spots#3 for example.
Is this possible?
my router: the model gives me all data i want
Spoter.Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
"": "",
"spot#:id": "spotDetails"
},
//Details on a certain spot with id
spotDetails: function(id) {
var spotDetailsContentDiv = Spoter.spotDetailsContent;
spotDetailsContentDiv.empty();
var spot = new Spoter.spotModel({id: id});
spot.fetch({
successCallback: function(data) {
var spotDetailsView = new Spoter.spotDetailsView({
model: data
});
spotDetailsContentDiv.html(spotDetailsView.render().el);
}
});
}
});
View:
Spoter.spotDetailsView = Backbone.View.extend({
render:function () {
this.$el.html(this.template(this.model));
return this;
}
});
Template with underscore
<ul data-role="listview" data-theme="c" data-inset="true">
<li>
<a href="#">
<h1><%= this.model.name %></h1>
<p><%= this.model.description %></p>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
