The Backbone Store is a simple demonstration application, a Backbone.js
|
||||||
|
version of the Sammy.js tutorial.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Backbone store must be installed under a webserver in order to
|
||||||
|
operate correctly. Chrome, especially, will not initialize the
|
||||||
|
application from the filesystem. Just unpack it in a target directory
|
||||||
|
of your choosing and then browse to that directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Branches
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are two major development branches for The Backbone Store.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Branch 'master' uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Branch 'modern' uses HAML, Stylus, and Coffee.

||||||

# About
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Backbone Store is a tutorial and demonstration application for
|
|
||||||
BackboneJS, a javascript framework for managing data-driven websites.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Installation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After checking out the source code, type
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ make setup all serve
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This will automatically run the NPM and Bower install scripts, placing
|
|
||||||
the correct libraries into the target tree, build the actual application
|
|
||||||
from the original source material, and start a local server.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Requirements
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The build tool relies upon GNU Make and node-js. It also uses the NoWeb
|
|
||||||
Literate Programming documentation tools, and building the documentation
|
|
||||||
from source requires Xelatex be installed as well.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The command 'make serve' probably only works under a fairly modern
|
|
||||||
Linux, as it is dependent upon the kernel's inotify facility.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Branches
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two major development branches for The Backbone Store.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Branch 'master' uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
|
|
||||||

Branch 'modern' uses HAML, Stylus, and Coffee.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

\section{Introduction}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is version 2.0 of \textbf{The Backbone Store}, a brief tutorial
|
||||||
|
on using [[backbone.js]].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\nwanchorto{http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/}{Backbone.js} is
|
||||||
|
a popular Model-View-Controller (MVC) library that provides a
|
||||||
|
framework for creating data-rich, single-page web applications. It
|
||||||
|
provides (1) a two-layer scheme for separating data from presentation,
|
||||||
|
(2) a means of automatically synchronizing data with a server in a
|
||||||
|
RESTful manner, and (3) a mechanism for making some views bookmarkable
|
||||||
|
and navigable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are a number of other good tutorials for Backbone (See:
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
Cloud},

||||||

||||||

\nwanchorto{http://bennolan.com/2010/11/24/backbone-jquery-demo.html}{Backbone

||||||
|

||||||
|
\nwanchorto{http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/}{Coffee}), and
|
||||||
|
\nwanchorto{http://joshbohde.com/2010/11/25/backbonejs-and-django/}{Backbone
|
||||||
|
and Django}. However, a couple of months ago I was attempting to
|
||||||
|
learn Sammy.js, a library very similar to Backbone, and they had a
|
||||||
|
nifty tutorial called
|
||||||
|
\nwanchorto{http://code.quirkey.com/sammy/tutorials/json_store_part1.html}{The
|
||||||
|
JsonStore}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the spirit of The JSON Store, I present The Backbone Store.
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
\subsection{Literate Program}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A note: this article was written with the
|
||||||
|
\nwanchorto{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming}{Literate
|
||||||
|
Programming} toolkit
|
||||||
|
\nwanchorto{http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/noweb/}{Noweb}. Where you see
|
||||||
|
something that looks like \\<\\<this\\>\\>, it's a placeholder for code
|
||||||
|
described elsewhere in the document. Placeholders with an equal sign
|
||||||
|
at the end of them indicate the place where that code is defined. The
|
||||||
|
link (U->) indicates that the code you're seeing is used later in the
|
||||||
|
document, and (<-U) indicates it was used earlier but is being defined
|
||||||
|
here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\subsection{Revision}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is version 2.0 of \textit{The Backbone Store}. It includes
|
||||||
|
changes to the store based upon a better understanding of what
|
||||||
|
Backbone.js can do. This version uses jQuery 1.6.2 and Backbone
|
||||||
|
0.5.2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\subsection{The Store}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To demonstrate the basics of Backbone, I'm going to create a simple
|
||||||
|
one-page application, a store for record albums, with two unique
|
||||||
|
views: a list of all products and a product detail view. I will also
|
||||||
|
put a shopping cart widget on the page that shows the user how many
|
||||||
|
products he or she has dropped into the cart. I'll use jQuery's
|
||||||
|
[[fadeIn()]] and [[fadeOut()]] features to transition between the
|
||||||
|
catalog and the product detail pages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\subsection{Models, Collections, and Controllers}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Backbone's data layer provides two classes, [[Model]] and
|
||||||
|
[[Collection]]. To use the Model, you inherit from it, modify the
|
||||||
|
subclasss as needed, and then create new objects from the subclass by
|
||||||
|
constructing the model with a JSON object. You modify the object by
|
||||||
|
calling [[get()]] or [[set()]] on named attributes, rather than on the
|
||||||
|
Model object directly; this allows Model to notify other interested
|
||||||
|
objects that the object has been changed. And Model comes with
|
||||||
|
[[fetch()]] and [[save()]] methods that will automatically pull or
|
||||||
|
push a JSON representatino of the model to a server, if the Model has
|
||||||
|
[[url]] as one of its attributes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Collections are just that: lists of objects of a specific model. You
|
||||||
|
extend the Collection class in a child class, and as you do you inform
|
||||||
|
the Collection of what Model it represents, what URL you use to
|
||||||
|
push/pull the full list of objects, and on what field the list should
|
||||||
|
be sorted by default. If you attempt to add a raw JSON object to a
|
||||||
|
collection, it constructs a corresponding Model object out of the JSON
|
||||||
|
and manipulates that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I will be getting the data from a simplified JSON file that comes in
|
||||||
|
the download; it contains six record albums that the store sells.
|
||||||
|
(Unlike the JSON store, these albums do not exist; the covers were
|
||||||
|
generated during a round of
|
||||||
|
\nwanchorto{http://elfs.livejournal.com/756709.html}{The Album Cover
|
||||||
|
Game}, a meme one popular with graphic designers.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For our purposes, then, we have a [[Product]] and a
|
||||||
|
[[ProductCollection]]. A popular convention in Backbone is to use
|
||||||
|
concrete names for models, and Name\textbf{Collection} for the
|
||||||
|
collection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Models are duck-typed by default; they do not care what you put into
|
||||||
|
them. So all I need to say is that a [[Product]] is-a [[Model]]. The
|
||||||
|
Collection is straightforward as well; I tell it what model it
|
||||||
|
represents, override the [[initialize()]] method (which is empty in
|
||||||
|
the Backbone default) to inform this Collection that it has a url, and
|
||||||
|
create the comparator function for default sorting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product models>>=
|
||||||
|
var Product = Backbone.Model.extend({})
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
var ProductCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
|
||||||
|
model: Product,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
initialize: function(models, options) {
|
||||||
|
this.url = options.url;
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
comparator: function(item) {
|
||||||
|
return item.get('title');
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the shopping cart, our cart will hold [[Item]]s, and the cart
|
||||||
|
itself will be an [[ItemCollection]]. Shoppings carts are a little
|
||||||
|
odd; the convention is that an [[Item]] is not a single instance of a
|
||||||
|
product, but a reference to the products and a quantity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One thing we will be doing is changing the quantity, so I have
|
||||||
|
provided a convenience function for the Item that allows you to do
|
||||||
|
that. Now, no client classes such as Views need to know how the
|
||||||
|
quantity is updated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, it would be nice to know the total price of the Item.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<cart models>>=
|
||||||
|
var Item = Backbone.Model.extend({
|
||||||
|
update: function(amount) {
|
||||||
|
this.set({'quantity': amount}, {silent: true});
|
||||||
|
this.collection.trigger('change', this);
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
price: function() {
|
||||||
|
console.log(this.get('product').get('title'), this.get('quantity'));
|
||||||
|
return this.get('product').get('price') * this.get('quantity');
|

||||||

});

||||||

|
||||||

The [[ItemCollection]] is a little trickier. It is entirely
|
||||||
|
client-side; it has no synchronization with the backend at all. But
|
||||||
|
it does have a model.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The [[ItemCollection]] must be able to find an Item in the cart to
|
||||||
|
update when a view needs it. If the Item is not in the Collection, it
|
||||||
|
must create one. The method [[getOrCreateItemForProduct]] does this.
|
||||||
|
It uses the [[detect()]] method, a method [[Collection]] inherits from
|
||||||
|
Backbone's one dependency, Underscore.js; [[detect()]] returns the
|
||||||
|
first [[Item]] in the [[ItemCollection]] for which the function
|
||||||
|
returns [[true]]. Also, when I have to create a new Item, I want to
|
||||||
|
add it to the collection, and I pass the parameter [[silent]], which
|
||||||
|
prevents the Collection from notifying event subscribers that the
|
||||||
|
collection has changed. Since this is an Item with zero objects in
|
||||||
|
it, this is not a change to what the collection represents, and I
|
||||||
|
don't want Views to react without having to.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, I add two methods that return the total count of objects in
|
||||||
|
the collection (not [[Items]], but actual [[Products]]), and the total
|
||||||
|
cost of those items in the cart. The Underscore method [[reduce()]]
|
||||||
|
does this by taking a function for adding progressive items, and a
|
||||||
|
starting value.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<cart models>>=
|
||||||
|
var ItemCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
|
||||||
|
model: Item,
|

getOrCreateItemForProduct: function(product) {
|

var i,

pid = product.get('id'),

o = this.detect(function(obj) {

return (obj.get('product').get('id') == pid);

});

if (o) {

return o;

\subsection {Views}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Backbone Views are simple policy objects. They have a root DOM
|
||||||
|
element, the contents of which they manipulate and to which they
|
||||||
|
listen for events, and a model or collection they represent within
|
||||||
|
that element. Views are not rigid; it's just Javascript and the DOM,
|
||||||
|
and you can hook external events as needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
More importantly, a View is sensitive to events \textit{within its
|
||||||
|
model or collection}, and can respond to changes automatically.
|
||||||
|
This way, if you have a rich data ecosystem, when changes to one data
|
||||||
|
item results in a cascade of changes throughout your datasets, the
|
||||||
|
views will receive ``change'' events and can update themselves
|
||||||
|
accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I will show how this works with the shopping cart widget.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To achieve the [[fadeIn/fadeOut]] animations and enforce consistency,
|
||||||
|
I'm going to do some basic object-oriented programming. I'm going to
|
||||||
|
create a base class that contains knowledge about the main area into
|
||||||
|
which all views are rendered, and that manages these transitions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With this technique, you can do lots of navigation-related tricks: you
|
||||||
|
can highlight where the user is in breadcrumb-style navigation; you
|
||||||
|
can change the class and highlight an entry on a nav bar; you can add
|
||||||
|
and remove tabs from the top of the viewport as needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<base view>>=
|
||||||
|
var _BaseView = Backbone.View.extend({
|
||||||
|
parent: $('#main'),
|
||||||
|
className: 'viewport',
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The above says that I am creating a class called \texttt{BaseView} and
|
||||||
|
defining two fields. The first, 'parent', will be used by all child
|
||||||
|
views to identify into which DOM object the View's root element will
|
||||||
|
be rendered. The second defines a common class we will use for the
|
||||||
|
purpose of identifying these views to jQuery. Backbone automatically
|
||||||
|
creates a new [[DIV]] object with the class 'viewport' when a view
|
||||||
|
constructor is called. It will be our job to attach that [[DIV]] to
|
||||||
|
the DOM. In the HTML, you will see the [[DIV\#main]] object where most
|
||||||
|
of the work will be rendered.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<base view>>=
|
||||||
|
initialize: function() {
|
||||||
|
this.el = $(this.el);
|
||||||
|
this.el.hide();
|
||||||
|
this.parent.append(this.el);
|
||||||
|
return this;
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The method above ensures that the element is rendered, but not
|
||||||
|
visible, and contained within the [[DIV\#main]]. Note also that
|
||||||
|
the element is not a sacrosanct object; the Backbone.View is more a
|
||||||
|
collection of standards than a mechanism of enforcement, and so
|
||||||
|
defining it from a raw DOM object to a jQuery object will not break
|
||||||
|
anything.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next, we will define the hide and show functions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<base view>>=
|
||||||
|
hide: function() {
|
||||||
|
if (this.el.is(":visible") === false) {
|
||||||
|
return null;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
promise = $.Deferred(_.bind(function(dfd) {
|
||||||
|
this.el.fadeOut('fast', dfd.resolve)}, this));
|
||||||
|
return promise.promise();
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
show: function() {
|
||||||
|
if (this.el.is(':visible')) {
|
||||||
|
return;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
promise = $.Deferred(_.bind(function(dfd) {
|
||||||
|
this.el.fadeIn('fast', dfd.resolve) }, this))
|
||||||
|
return promise.promise();
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\textbf{Deferred} is a new feature of jQuery. It is a different
|
||||||
|
mechanism for invoking callbacks by attaching attributes and behavior
|
||||||
|
to the callback function. By using this, we can say thing like
|
||||||
|
``\textit{When} everything is hidden (when every deferred returned
|
||||||
|
from \textbf{hide} has been resolved), \textit{then} show the
|
||||||
|
appropriate viewport.'' Deferreds are incredibly powerful, and this
|
||||||
|
is a small taste of what can be done with them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before we move on, let's take a look at the HTML we're going to use
|
||||||
|
for our one-page application:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<index.html>>=
|
||||||
|
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||||
|
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

||||||
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jsonstore.css" type="text/css">

||||||

|
||||||
|

|

<div id="container">

<div id="header">

<h1>

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="cart-info">
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div id="main"> </div>

|

|
<script src="store.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</body>
|
||||||
|
</html>
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's not much to look at, but already you can see where that
|
||||||
|
[[DIV\#main]] goes, as well as where we are putting our templates.
|
||||||
|
The [[DIV\#main]] will host a number of viewports, only one of
|
||||||
|
which will be visible at any given time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our first view is going to be the product list view, named, well,
|
||||||
|
guess. Or just look down a few lines.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This gives us a chance to discuss one of the big confusions new
|
||||||
|
Backbone users frequently have: \textit{What is \texttt{render()}
|
||||||
|
for?}. Render is not there to show or hide the view.
|
||||||
|
\texttt{Render()} is there to \textit{change the view when the
|
||||||
|
underlying data changes}. It renders the data into a view. In our
|
||||||
|
functionality, we use the parent class's \texttt{show()} and
|
||||||
|
\texttt{hide()} methods to actually show the view.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That call to [[\_super\_]] is a Backbone idiom for calling a method on
|
||||||
|
the parent object. It is, as far as anyone knows, the only way to
|
||||||
|
invoke a superclass method if it has been redefined in a subclass.
|
||||||
|
It is rather ugly, but useful.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product list view>>=
|
||||||
|
var ProductListView = _BaseView.extend({
|
||||||
|
id: 'productlistview',
|
||||||
|
template: $("#store_index_template").html(),
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
initialize: function(options) {
|
||||||
|
this.constructor.__super__.initialize.apply(this, [options])
|
||||||
|
this.collection.bind('reset', _.bind(this.render, this));
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
render: function() {
|
||||||
|
this.el.html(_.template(this.template,
|
||||||
|
{'products': this.collection.toJSON()}))
|
||||||
|
return this;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That \texttt{\_.template()} method is provided by undescore.js, and is
|
||||||
|
a full-featured, javascript-based templating method. It's not the
|
||||||
|
fastest or the most feature-complete, but it is more than adequate for
|
||||||
|
our purposes and it means we don't have to import another library. It
|
||||||
|
vaguely resembles ERB from Rails, so if you are familiar with that,
|
||||||
|
you should understand this fairly easily.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And here is the HTML:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product list template>>=
|
||||||
|
<script id="store_index_template" type="text/x-underscore-tmplate">
|
||||||
|
<h1>Product Catalog</h1>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<% for(i=0,l=products.length;i<l;++i) { p = products[i]; %>
|
||||||
|
<li class="item">
|
||||||
|
<div class="item-image">
|
||||||
|
<a href="#item/<%= p.id %>">
|
||||||
|
<img alt="<%= p.title %>" src="<%= p.image %>" />
|
||||||
|
</a>
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
<div class="item-artist"><%= p.artist %></div>
|
||||||
|
<div class="item-title"><%= p.title %></div>
|
||||||
|
<div class="item-price">$<%= p.price %></div>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<% } %>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</script>
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One of the most complicated objects in our ecosystem is the product
|
||||||
|
view. It actually does something! The prefix ought to be familiar,
|
||||||
|
but note that we are again using [[\#main]] as our target; we will be
|
||||||
|
showing and hiding the various [[DIV]] objects in [[\#main]] again and
|
||||||
|
again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The only trickiness here is twofold: the (rather hideous) means by
|
||||||
|
which one calls the method of a parnt class from a child class via
|
||||||
|
Backbone's class heirarchy (this is most definitely \textbf{not}
|
||||||
|
Javascript standard), and keeping track of the itemcollection object,
|
||||||
|
so we can add and change items as needed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product detail view>>=
|
||||||
|
var ProductView = _BaseView.extend({
|
||||||
|
id: 'productitemview',
|
||||||
|
template: $("#store_item_template").html(),
|
||||||
|
initialize: function(options) {
|
||||||
|
this.constructor.__super__.initialize.apply(this, [options])
|
||||||
|
this.itemcollection = options.itemcollection;
|
||||||
|
this.item = this.itemcollection.getOrCreateItemForProduct(this.model);
|
||||||
|
return this;
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are certain events in which we're interested: keypresses and
|
||||||
|
clicks on the update button and the quantity form. (Okay, ``UQ''
|
||||||
|
isn't the best for ``update quantity''. I admit that.) Note the
|
||||||
|
peculiar syntax of ``EVENT SELECTOR'': ``methodByName'' for each
|
||||||
|
event.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Backbone tells us that the only events it can track by itself are
|
||||||
|
those that jQuery's ``delegate'' understands. As of 1.5, that seems
|
||||||
|
to be just about all of them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product detail view>>=
|
||||||
|
events: {
|
||||||
|
"keypress .uqf" : "updateOnEnter",
|
||||||
|
"click .uq" : "update",
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And now we will deal with the update. This code ought to be fairly
|
||||||
|
readable: the only specialness is that it's receiving an event, and
|
||||||
|
we're ``silencing'' the call to [[cart.add()]], which means that the
|
||||||
|
cart collection will not publish any events. There are only events
|
||||||
|
when the item has more than zero, and that gets called on
|
||||||
|
[[cart_item.update()]].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the original tutorial, this code had a lot of responsibility for
|
||||||
|
managing the shopping cart, looking into it and seeing if it had an
|
||||||
|
item for this product, and there was lots of accessing the model to
|
||||||
|
get its id and so forth. All of that has been put into the shopping
|
||||||
|
cart model, which is where it belongs: \textit{knowledge about items
|
||||||
|
and each item's relationship to its collection belongs in the
|
||||||
|
collection}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Look closely at the [[update()]] method. The reference [[this.\$]] is
|
||||||
|
a special Backbone object that limits selectors to objects inside the
|
||||||
|
element of the view. Without it, jQuery would have found the first
|
||||||
|
input field of class 'uqf' in the DOM, not the one for this specific
|
||||||
|
view. [[this.\$('.uqf')]] is shorthand for [[$('uqf', this.el)]], and
|
||||||
|
helps clarify what it is you're looking for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
%'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

<<product detail view>>=
|
||||||
|
update: function(e) {
|
||||||
|
e.preventDefault();
|
||||||
|
this.item.update(parseInt(this.$('.uqf').val()));
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
updateOnEnter: function(e) {
|
||||||
|
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
|
||||||

return this.update(e);

}

|
},
|

@

%$
|
||||||
|
|

The render is straightforward:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product detail view>>=
|
||||||
|
render: function() {
|
||||||
|
this.el.html(_.template(this.template, this.model.toJSON()));
|
||||||
|
return this;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The product detail template is fairly straightforward. There is no
|
||||||
|
[[underscore]] magic because there are no loops.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product detail template>>=
|
||||||
|
<script id="store_item_template" type="text/x-underscore-template">
|
||||||
|
<div class="item-detail">

<div class="item-image">

<img alt="<%= title %>" src="<%= large_image %>" />
|

|

<div class="item-info">

<div class="item-artist"><%= artist %></div>
|

<div class="item-title"><%= title %></div>
|
||||||
|
<div class="item-price">$<%= price %></div>
|
||||||
|
<form action="#/cart" method="post">
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<label>Quantity:</label>
|
||||||
|
<input class="uqf" name="quantity" size="2" type="text" value="1" />
|

</p>
|

|
<p>
|

|
<input class="uq" type="submit" value="Add to Cart" />
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
</form>
|
||||||
|
<div class="item-link">
|
||||||
|
<a href="<%= url %>">Buy this item on Amazon</a>
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
<div class="back-link">
|
||||||
|
<a href="#">« Back to Items</a>
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
</script>
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, let's talk about that shopping cart thing. We've been making the
|
||||||
|
point that when it changes, when you call [[item.update]] within the
|
||||||
|
product detail view, any corresponding subscribing views sholud
|
||||||
|
automatically update.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<cart widget>>=
|
||||||
|
var CartWidget = Backbone.View.extend({
|
||||||
|
el: $('.cart-info'),
|
||||||
|
template: $('#store_cart_template').html(),
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
initialize: function() {
|
||||||
|
this.collection.bind('change', _.bind(this.render, this));
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And there is the major magic. CartWidget will be initialized with the
|
||||||
|
ItemCollection; when there is any change in the collection, the widget
|
||||||
|
will receive the 'change' event, which will automatically trigger the
|
||||||
|
call to the widget's [[render()]] method.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The render method will refill that widget's HTML with a re-rendered
|
||||||
|
template with the new count and cost, and then wiggle it a little to
|
||||||
|
show that it did changed:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<cart widget>>=
|
||||||
|
render: function() {
|
||||||
|
this.el.html(
|
||||||
|
_.template(this.template, {
|
||||||
|
'count': this.collection.getTotalCount(),
|
||||||

})).animate({paddingTop: '30px'})
|

.animate({paddingTop: '10px'});
|

|
}
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And the HTML for the template is dead simple:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<cart template>>=
|
||||||
|
<script id="store_cart_template" type="text/x-underscore-template">
|
||||||
|
<p>Items: <%= count %> ($<%= cost %>)</p>
|
||||||
|
</script>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lastly, there is the [[Router]]. In Backbone, the Router is a
|
||||||
|
specialized View for invoking other views. It listens for one
|
||||||
|
specific event: when the [[window.location.hash]] object, the part of
|
||||||
|
the URL after the hash symbol, changes. When the hash changes, the
|
||||||
|
Router invokes an event handler. The Router, since its purpose is to
|
||||||
|
control the major components of the one-page display, is also a good
|
||||||
|
place to keep all the major components of the sytem. We'll keep track
|
||||||
|
of the [[Views]], the [[ProductCollection]], and the
|
||||||
|
[[ItemCollection]].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<router>>=
|
||||||
|
var BackboneStore = Backbone.Router.extend({
|
||||||
|
views: {},
|
||||||
|
products: null,
|
||||||
|
cart: null,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are two events we care about: view the list, and view a detail.
|
||||||
|
They are routed like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<router>>=
|
||||||
|
routes: {
|
||||||
|
"": "index",
|
||||||
|
"item/:id": "product",
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Like most Backbone objects, the Router has an initialization feature.
|
||||||
|
I create a new, empty shopping cart and corresponding cart widget,
|
||||||
|
which doesn't render because it's empty. I then create a new
|
||||||
|
[[ProductCollection]] and and corresponding [[ProductListView]].
|
||||||
|
These are all processes that happen immediately.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What does not happen immediately is the [[fetch()]] of data from the
|
||||||
|
back-end server. For that, I use the jQuery deferred again, because
|
||||||
|
[[fetch()]] ultimately returns the results of [[sync()]], which
|
||||||
|
returns the result of an [[ajax()]] call, which is a deferred.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<router>>=
|
||||||
|
initialize: function(data) {
|
||||||
|
this.cart = new ItemCollection();
|
||||||
|
new CartWidget({collection: this.cart});
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
this.products = new ProductCollection([], {
|
||||||
|
url: 'data/items.json'});
|
||||||
|
this.views = {
|
||||||
|
'_index': new ProductListView({
|
||||||
|
collection: this.products
|
||||||
|
})
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
$.when(this.products.fetch({reset: true}))
|
||||||
|
.then(function() { window.location.hash = ''; });
|
||||||
|
return this;
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are two things to route \textit{to}, but we must also route
|
||||||
|
\textit{from}. Remember that our two major views, the product list
|
||||||
|
and the product detail, inherited from [[\_BaseView]], which has the
|
||||||
|
[[hide()]] and [[show()]] methods. We want to hide all the views,
|
||||||
|
then show the one invoked. First, let's hide every view we know
|
||||||
|
about. [[hide()]] returns either a deferred (if the object is being
|
||||||
|
hidden) or null. The [[_.select()]] call at the end means that this
|
||||||
|
method returns only an array of deferreds.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<router>>=
|
||||||
|
hideAllViews: function () {
|
||||||
|
return _.select(
|
||||||
|
_.map(this.views, function(v) { return v.hide(); }),
|
||||||
|
function (t) { return t != null });
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Showing the product list view is basically hiding everything, then
|
||||||
|
showing the index:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<router>>=
|
||||||
|
index: function() {
|
||||||
|
var view = this.views['_index'];
|
||||||
|
$.when(this.hideAllViews()).then(
|
||||||
|
function() { return view.show(); });
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On the other hand, showing the product detail page is a bit trickier.
|
||||||
|
In order to avoid re-rendering all the time, I am going to create a
|
||||||
|
view for every product in which the user shows interest, and keep it
|
||||||
|
around, showing it a second time if the user wants to see it a second
|
||||||
|
time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Not that we pass it the [[ItemCollection]] instance. It uses this to
|
||||||
|
create a new item, which (if you recall from our discussion of
|
||||||
|
[[getOrCreateItemForProduct()]]) is automagically put into the
|
||||||
|
collection as needed. Which means all we need to do is update this
|
||||||
|
item and the item collection \textit{changes}, which in turn causes
|
||||||
|
the [[CartWidget]] to update automagically as well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<router>>=
|
||||||
|
product: function(id) {
|
||||||
|
var product, v, view;
|
||||||
|
product = this.products.detect(function(p) { return p.get('id') == (id); })
|
||||||
|
view = ((v = this.views)['item.' + id]) || (v['item.' + id] = (
|
||||||
|
new ProductView({model: product,
|
||||||
|
itemcollection: this.cart}).render()));
|
||||||
|
$.when(this.hideAllViews()).then(
|
||||||
|
function() { view.show(); });
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, we need to start the program
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<initialization>>=
|
||||||
|
$(document).ready(function() {
|
||||||
|
new BackboneStore();
|
||||||
|
Backbone.history.start();
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
%$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\section{The Program}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here's the entirety of the program:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<store.js>>=
|
||||||
|
(function() {
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product models>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<cart models>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<base view>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product list view>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<product detail view>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<cart widget>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<router>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<<initialization>>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
}).call(this);
|
||||||
|
@
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And that's it. Put it all together, and you've got yourself a working
|
||||||
|
Backbone Store.

\section{Introduction}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is version 3.0 of \textbf{The Backbone Store}, a brief tutorial on
|
|
||||||
using [[backbone.js]]. The version you are currently reading has been
|
|
||||||
tested with the latest versions of the supporting software as of April,
|
|
||||||
2016.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\nwanchorto{http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/}{Backbone.js} is
|
|
||||||
a popular Model-View-Controller (MVC) library that provides a
|
|
||||||
framework for creating data-rich, single-page web applications. It
|
|
||||||
provides (1) a two-layer scheme for separating data from presentation,
|
|
||||||
(2) a means of automatically synchronizing data with a server in a
|
|
||||||
RESTful manner, and (3) a mechanism for making some views bookmarkable
|
|
||||||
and navigable.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are a number of other good tutorials for Backbone (See:
|
|
||||||

|

|
|
||||||
learn Sammy.js, a library very similar to Backbone, and they had a
|
|
||||||
nifty tutorial called
|
|
||||||
\nwanchorto{http://code.quirkey.com/sammy/tutorials/json_store_part1.html}{The
|
|
||||||
JsonStore}.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the spirit of The JSON Store, I present The Backbone Store.

|
|
||||||
something that looks like $\langle\langle$this$\rangle\rangle$, it's a
|
|
||||||
placeholder for code described elsewhere in the document. Placeholders
|
|
||||||
with an equal sign at the end of them indicate the place where that code
|
|
||||||
is defined. The link (U->) indicates that the code you're seeing is
|
|
||||||
used later in the document, and (<-U) indicates it was used earlier but
|
|
||||||
is being defined here.

||||||
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Revision}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is version 3.0 of \textit{The Backbone Store}. It includes several
|
|
||||||
significant updates, including the use of both NPM and Bower to build
|
|
||||||
the final application.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\subsection{The Store: What We're Going to Build}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To demonstrate the basics of Backbone, I'm going to create a simple
|
|
||||||
one-page application, a store for record albums, with two unique views:
|
|
||||||
a list of all products and a product detail view. I will also put a
|
|
||||||
shopping cart widget on the page that shows the user how many products
|
|
||||||
have been has dropped into the cart. I'll use some simple animations to
|
|
||||||
transition between the catalog and the product detail pages.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Models, Collections, and Controllers}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Backbone's data layer provides two classes, [[Collection]] and
|
|
||||||
[[Model]].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every web application has data, often tabular data. Addressing tabular
|
|
||||||
data usually involves three parts: The \textit{table}, \textit{row}, and
|
|
||||||
\textit{column}. In Backbone, these are represented by the
|
|
||||||
[[Collection]], the [[Model]], and the [[attribute]]. The
|
|
||||||
[[Collection]] often has a URL indicating the back-end source of the
|
|
||||||
table; the [[Model]] may have a URL indicating its specific row in the
|
|
||||||
table, as a way of efficiently saving itserlf back to the table.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To use the Model, you inherit from it using Backbone's own [[.extend()]]
|
|
||||||
class method, adding or replacing methods in the child object as needed.
|
|
||||||
For our purposes, we have two models: [[Product]] represents something
|
|
||||||
we wish to sell, and [[Item]] represents something currently in the
|
|
||||||
customer's shopping cart.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Product literally has nothing to modify. It already provides all
|
|
||||||
the methods we need.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Shopping carts are a little odd; the convention is that [[Item]] is not a
|
|
||||||
single instance of the product, but instead has a reference to the
|
|
||||||
product, and a count of how many the buyer wants. To that end, I am
|
|
||||||
adding two methods that extend Item: [[.update()]], which changes the
|
|
||||||
current quantity, and [[.price()]], which calculates the product's price
|
|
||||||
times the quantity:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<models>>=
|
|
||||||
var Product = Backbone.Model.extend({});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
var Item = Backbone.Model.extend({
|
|
||||||
update: function(amount) {
|
|
||||||
if (amount === this.get('quantity')) {
|
|
||||||
return this;
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
this.set({quantity: amount}, {silent: true});
|
|
||||||
this.collection.trigger('update', this);
|
|
||||||
return this;
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
price: function() {
|
|
||||||
return this.get('product').get('price') * this.get('quantity');
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The methods [[.get(item)]] and [[.set(item, value)]] are at the heart of
|
|
||||||
Backbone.Model. They're how you set individual attributes on the object
|
|
||||||
being manipulated. Notice how I can 'get' the product, which is a
|
|
||||||
Backbone.Model, and then 'get' its price. This is called a
|
|
||||||
\textit{chain}, and is fairly common in Javascript.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The big secret to Backbone is that it supplies an advanced event
|
|
||||||
management toolkit. Changing a model triggers various events, none of
|
|
||||||
which matter here in this context so I silence the event, but then I
|
|
||||||
tell the Item's Backbone.Collection that the Model has changed. For
|
|
||||||
this program, it is the collection as a whole whose value matters,
|
|
||||||
because that collection as a whole represents our shopping cart. Events
|
|
||||||
are the primary way in which Backbone objects interact, so understanding
|
|
||||||
them is key to using Backbone correctly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Collections, like Models, are just objects you can (and often must)
|
|
||||||
extend to support your application's needs. Just as a Model has
|
|
||||||
\texttt{.get()} and \texttt{.set()}, a Collection has [[.add(item)]] and
|
|
||||||
[[.remove(id)]] as methods. Collections have a lot more than that.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Both Models and Collections also have [[.fetch()]] and [[.save()]]. If
|
|
||||||
either has a URL, these methods allow the collection to represent data
|
|
||||||
on the server, and to save that data back to the server. The default
|
|
||||||
method is a simple JSON object representing either a Model's attributes,
|
|
||||||
or a JSON list of the Collection's models' attributes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The [[Product.Collection]] will be loading its list of albums via these
|
|
||||||
methods to (in our case) static JSON back-end. Backbone provides a
|
|
||||||
mechanism for fetching JSON (and you can override the [[.parse()]]
|
|
||||||
method to handle XML, CSV, or whatever strikes your fancy); to use the
|
|
||||||
default [[.fetch()]] method, capture and set the Collection's [[.url]]
|
|
||||||
field:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product collection>>=
|
|
||||||
var ProductCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
|
|
||||||
model: Product,
|
|
||||||
initialize: function(models, options) {
|
|
||||||
this.url = options.url;
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
comparator: function(product) {
|
|
||||||
return product.get('title');
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The [[.model]] attribute tells the [[ProductCollection]] that if
|
|
||||||
[[.add()]] or [[.fetch()]] are called and the contents are plain JSON,
|
|
||||||
a new [[Product]] Model should be initialized with the JSON data and
|
|
||||||
that will be used as a new object for the Collection.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The [[.comparator()]] method specifies the per-model value by which the
|
|
||||||
Collection should be sorted. Sorting happens automatically whenever the
|
|
||||||
Collection receives an event indicating its contents have been altered.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The [[ItemCollection]] doesn't have a URL, but we do have several helper
|
|
||||||
methods to add. We don't want to add Items; instead, we want to add
|
|
||||||
products as needed, then update the count as requested. If the product
|
|
||||||
is already in our system, we don't want to create duplicates.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First, we ensure that if we don't receive an amount, we at least provide
|
|
||||||
a valid \textit{numerical} value to our code. The [[.detect()]] method
|
|
||||||
lets us find an object in our Collection using a function to compare
|
|
||||||
them; it returns the first object that matches.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If we find the object, we update it and return. If we don't, we create
|
|
||||||
a new one, exploiting the fact that, since we specified the Collection's
|
|
||||||
Model above, it will automatically be created as a Model in the
|
|
||||||
Collection at the end of this call. In either case, we return the new
|
|
||||||
Item to be handled further by the calling code.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<cart collection>>=
|
|
||||||
var ItemCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
|
|
||||||
model: Item,
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
updateItemForProduct: function(product, amount) {
|
|
||||||
amount = amount != null ? amount : 0;
|
|
||||||
var pid = product.get('id');
|
|
||||||

And finally, two methods to add up how many objects are in your cart,
|
|
||||||
and the total price. The first line creates a function to get the
|
|
||||||
number for a single object and add it to a memo. The second line uses
|
|
||||||
the [[.reduce()]] method, which goes through each object in the
|
|
||||||
collection and runs the function, passing the results of each run to the
|
|
||||||
next as the memo.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<cart collection>>=
|
|
||||||
getTotalCount: function() {
|
|
||||||
var addup = function(memo, obj) {
|
|
||||||
return memo + obj.get('quantity');
|
|
||||||
};
|
|
||||||
return this.reduce(addup, 0);
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
getTotalCost: function() {
|
|
||||||
var addup = function(memo, obj) {
|
|

return memo + obj.price();
|

\subsection {Views}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Backbone Views are simple policy objects. They have a root DOM
|
|
||||||
element, the contents of which they manipulate and to which they
|
|
||||||
listen for events, and a model or collection they represent within
|
|
||||||
that element. Views are not rigid; it's just Javascript and the DOM,
|
|
||||||
and you can hook external events as needed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
More importantly, if you pass a model or collection to a View, that View
|
|
||||||
becomes sensitive to events \textit{within its model or collection}, and
|
|
||||||
can respond to changes automatically. This way, if you have a rich data
|
|
||||||
ecosystem, when changes to one data item results in a cascade of changes
|
|
||||||
throughout your datasets, the views will receive ``change'' events and
|
|
||||||
can update themselves accordingly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In a way, a View can be thought of as two separate but important
|
|
||||||
sub-programs, each based on events. The first listens to events from
|
|
||||||
the DOM, and forwards data-changing events to associated models or
|
|
||||||
collections. The second listens to events from data objects and
|
|
||||||
re-draws the View's contents when the data changes. Keeping these
|
|
||||||
separate in your mind will help you design Backbone applications
|
|
||||||
successfully.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I will show how this works with the shopping cart widget.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To achieve the [[fadeIn/fadeOut]] animations and enforce consistency,
|
|
||||||
I'm going to do some basic object-oriented programming. I'm going to
|
|
||||||
create a base class that contains knowledge about the main area into
|
|
||||||
which all views are rendered, and that manages these transitions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With this technique, you can do lots of navigation-related tricks: you
|
|
||||||
can highlight where the user is in breadcrumb-style navigation; you
|
|
||||||
can change the class and highlight an entry on a nav bar; you can add
|
|
||||||
and remove tabs from the top of the viewport as needed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<base view>>=
|
|
||||||
var BaseView = Backbone.View.extend({
|
|
||||||
parent: $('#main'),
|
|
||||||
className: 'viewport',
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
initialize: function(options) {
|
|
||||||
Backbone.View.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
|
|
||||||
this.$el.hide();
|
|
||||||
this.parent.append(this.el);
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The above says that I am creating a class called \texttt{BaseView} and
|
|
||||||
defining two fields. The first, 'parent', will be used by all child
|
|
||||||
views to identify into which DOM object the View root element will be
|
|
||||||
rendered. The second defines a common class we will use for the purpose
|
|
||||||
of identifying these views to jQuery. Backbone automatically creates a
|
|
||||||
new [[DIV]] object with the class 'viewport' when a view constructor is
|
|
||||||
called. It will be our job to attach that [[DIV]] to the DOM. In the
|
|
||||||
HTML, you will see the [[DIV#main]] object where most of the work will
|
|
||||||
be rendered.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As an alternative, the viewport object may already exist, in which case
|
|
||||||
you just find it with a selector, and the view attaches itself to that
|
|
||||||
DOM object from then on. In older versions of the Backbone Store, we
|
|
||||||
used to assign [[this.el]] to a jQuery-wrapped version of the element;
|
|
||||||
that's no longer necessary, as Backbone provides you with its own
|
|
||||||
version automatically in [[this.$el]].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The 'parent' field is something I created for my own use, since I intend
|
|
||||||
to have multiple child objects share the same piece of real-estate. The
|
|
||||||
'className' field is something Backbone automatically applies to the
|
|
||||||
generated [[DIV]] at construction time. If you pass in an existing
|
|
||||||
element at construction time for the View to use (which is not an
|
|
||||||
uncommon use case!), Backbone will \textit{not} apply the 'className' to
|
|
||||||
it; you'll have to do that yourself.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I use the [[initialize]] method above to ensure that the element is
|
|
||||||
rendered, but not visible, and contained within the [[DIV#main]]. Note
|
|
||||||
also that the element is not a sacrosanct object; the Backbone.View is
|
|
||||||
more a collection of standards than a mechanism of enforcement, and so
|
|
||||||
defining it from a raw DOM object or a jQuery object will not break
|
|
||||||
anything.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Next, we will define the hide and show functions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<base view>>=
|
|
||||||
hide: function() {
|
|
||||||
var dfd = $.Deferred();
|
|
||||||
if (!this.$el.is(':visible')) {
|
|
||||||
return dfd.resolve();
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
this.$el.fadeOut('fast', function() {
|
|
||||||
return dfd.resolve();
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
return dfd.promise();
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
show: function() {
|
|
||||||
var dfd = $.Deferred();
|
|
||||||
if (this.$el.is(':visible')) {
|
|
||||||
return dfd.resolve();
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
this.$el.fadeIn('fast', function() {
|
|
||||||
return dfd.resolve();
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
return dfd.promise();
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Deferred} is a feature of jQuery called ``promises''. It is a
|
|
||||||
different mechanism for invoking callbacks by attaching attributes and
|
|
||||||
behavior to the callback function. By using this, we can say thing like
|
|
||||||
``\textit{When} everything is hidden (when every deferred returned from
|
|
||||||
\textbf{hide} has been resolved), \textit{then} show the appropriate
|
|
||||||
viewport.'' Deferreds are incredibly powerful, and this is a small
|
|
||||||
taste of what can be done with them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before we move on, let's take a look at the HTML we're going to use for
|
|
||||||
our one-page application.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<index.html>>=
|
|
||||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
|
||||||
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

|
|
||||||
</html>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's not much to look at, but already you can see where that
|
|
||||||
[[DIV\#main]] goes, as well as where we are putting our templates. The
|
|
||||||
[[DIV\#main]] will host a number of viewports, only one of which will be
|
|
||||||
visible at any given time.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Our first view is going to be the product list view, named, well, guess.
|
|
||||||
Or just look down a few lines.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This gives us a chance to discuss one of the big confusions new Backbone
|
|
||||||
users frequently have: \textit{What is \texttt{render()} for?}. Render
|
|
||||||
is not there to show or hide the view. \texttt{Render()} is there to
|
|
||||||
\textit{change the view when the underlying data changes}. It renders
|
|
||||||
the data into a view. In our functionality, we use the parent class's
|
|
||||||
\texttt{show()} and \texttt{hide()} methods to actually show the view.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That call to [[.prototype]] is a Javascript idiom for calling a method
|
|
||||||
on the parent object. It is, as far as anyone knows, the only way to
|
|
||||||
invoke a superclass method if it has been redefined in a subclass. It
|
|
||||||
is rather ugly, but useful.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product list view>>=
|
|
||||||
var ProductListView = BaseView.extend({
|
|
||||||
id: 'productlistview',
|
|
||||||
template: _.template($("#store_index_template").html()),
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
initialize: function(options) {
|
|
||||||
BaseView.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
|
|
||||||
this.collection.bind('reset', this.render.bind(this));
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
render: function() {
|
|
||||||
this.$el.html(this.template({
|
|
||||||
'products': this.collection.toJSON()
|
|
||||||
}));
|
|
||||||
return this;
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
%$
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That \texttt{\_.template()} method is provided by undescore.js, and is a
|
|
||||||
full-featured, javascript-based templating method. It's not the fastest
|
|
||||||
or the most feature-complete, but it is more than adequate for our
|
|
||||||
purposes and it means we don't have to import another library. It
|
|
||||||
vaguely resembles ERB from Rails, so if you are familiar with that, you
|
|
||||||
should understand this fairly easily. It takes a template and returns a
|
|
||||||
function ready to render the template. What we're saying here is that
|
|
||||||
we want this View to automatically re-render itself every time the given
|
|
||||||
collection changes in a significant way, using the given template, into
|
|
||||||
the given element. That's what this view ``means.''
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are many different ways of providing templates to Backbone. The
|
|
||||||
most common, especially for small templates, is to just include it as an
|
|
||||||
inline string inside the View. The \textit{least} common, I'm afraid,
|
|
||||||
is the one I'm doing here: using the $<$script$>$ tag with an
|
|
||||||
unusual mime type to include it with the rest of the HTML. I like this
|
|
||||||
method because it means all of my HTML is in one place.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For much larger programs, those that use features such as
|
|
||||||
\nwanchorto{http://requirejs.org/}{Require.js}, a common technique is to
|
|
||||||
keep the HTML template fragment in its own file and to import it using
|
|
||||||
Require's ``text'' plugin.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here is the HTML for our home page's template:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product list template>>=
|
|
||||||
<script id="store_index_template" type="text/x-underscore-tmplate">
|
|
||||||
<h1>Product Catalog</h1>
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<% for(i=0,l=products.length;i<l;++i) { p = products[i]; %>
|
|
||||||
<li class="item">
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-image">
|
|
||||||
<a href="#item/<%= p.id %>">
|
|
||||||
<img alt="<%= p.title %>" src="<%= p.image %>">
|
|
||||||
</a>
|
|
||||||
</div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-artist"><%= p.artist %></div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-title"><%= p.title %></div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-price">$<%= p.price %></div>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<% } %>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
</script>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One of the most complicated objects in our ecosystem is the product
|
|
||||||
view. It actually does something! The prefix ought to be familiar,
|
|
||||||
but note that we are again using [[\#main]] as our target; we will be
|
|
||||||
showing and hiding the various [[DIV]] objects in [[\#main]] again and
|
|
||||||
again.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The only trickiness here is twofold: the means by which one calls the
|
|
||||||
method of a parent class from a child class via Backbone's class
|
|
||||||
heirarchy, and keeping track of the ItemCollection object, so we can add
|
|
||||||
and change items as needed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product detail view>>=
|
|
||||||
var ProductView = BaseView.extend({
|
|
||||||
className: 'productitemview',
|
|
||||||
template: _.template($("#store_item_template").html()),
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
initialize: function(options) {
|
|
||||||
BaseView.prototype.initialize.apply(this, [options]);
|
|
||||||
this.itemcollection = options.itemcollection;
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
%$
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are certain events in which we're interested: keypresses and
|
|
||||||
clicks on the update button and the quantity form. (Okay, ``UQ''
|
|
||||||
isn't the best for ``update quantity''. I admit that.) Note the
|
|
||||||
peculiar syntax of ``EVENT SELECTOR'': ``methodByName'' for each
|
|
||||||
event.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Backbone tells us that the only events it can track by itself are
|
|
||||||
those that jQuery's ``delegate'' understands. As of 1.5, that seems
|
|
||||||
to be just about all of them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product detail view>>=
|
|
||||||
events: {
|
|
||||||
"keypress .uqf" : "updateOnEnter",
|
|
||||||
"click .uq" : "update"
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And now we will deal with the update. This code ought to be fairly
|
|
||||||
readable: the only specialness is that it's receiving an event, and
|
|
||||||
we're ``silencing'' the call to [[cart.add()]], which means that the
|
|
||||||
cart collection will not publish any events. There are only events
|
|
||||||
when the item has more than zero, and that gets called on
|
|
||||||
[[cart_item.update()]].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the original tutorial, this code had a lot of responsibility for
|
|
||||||
managing the shopping cart, looking into it and seeing if it had an
|
|
||||||
item for this product, and there was lots of accessing the model to
|
|
||||||
get its id and so forth. All of that has been put into the shopping
|
|
||||||
cart model, which is where it belongs: \textit{knowledge about items
|
|
||||||
and each item's relationship to its collection belongs in the
|
|
||||||
collection}.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Look closely at the [[update()]] method. The reference [[this.$]] is a
|
|
||||||
special Backbone object that limits selectors to objects inside the
|
|
||||||
element of the view. Without it, jQuery would have found the first
|
|
||||||
input field of class 'uqf' in the DOM, not the one for this specific
|
|
||||||
view. [[this.$('.uqf')]] is shorthand for [[$('uqf', this.el)]], and helps
|
|
||||||
clarify what it is you're looking for.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product detail view>>=
|
|
||||||
update: function(e) {
|
|
||||||
e.preventDefault();
|
|
||||||
return this.itemcollection.updateItemForProduct(this.model, parseInt(this.$('.uqf').val()));
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
updateOnEnter: function(e) {
|
|
||||||
if (e.keyCode === 13) {
|
|
||||||
this.update(e);
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The render is straightforward:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product detail view>>=
|
|
||||||
render: function() {
|
|
||||||
this.$el.html(this.template(this.model.toJSON()));
|
|
||||||
return this;
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The product detail template is fairly straightforward. There is no
|
|
||||||
[[underscore]] magic because there are no loops.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product detail template>>=
|
|
||||||
<script id="store_item_template" type="text/x-underscore-template">
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-detail">
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-image">
|
|
||||||
<img alt="<%= title %>" src="<%= large_image %>">
|
|
||||||
</div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-info">
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-artist"><%= artist %></div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-title"><%= title %></div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-price">$<%= price %></div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-form"></div>
|
|
||||||
<form action="#/cart" method="post">
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<label>Quantity:</label>
|
|
||||||
<input class="uqf" name="quantity" size="2" type="text" value="1">
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<input class="uq" type="submit" value="Add to Cart">
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
</form>
|
|
||||||
<div class="item-link">
|
|
||||||
<a href="<%= url %>">Buy this item on Amazon</a>
|
|
||||||
</div>
|
|
||||||
<div class="back-link">
|
|
||||||
<a href="#">« Back to Items</a>
|
|
||||||
</div>
|
|
||||||
</div>
|
|
||||||
</div>

@
|
|

|
||||||
So, let's talk about that shopping cart thing. We've been making the
|
|
||||||
point that when it changes, when you call [[item.update]] within the
|
|
||||||
product detail view, any corresponding subscribing views sholud
|
|
||||||
automatically update.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<cart widget>>=
|
|
||||||
var CartWidget = Backbone.View.extend({
|
|
||||||
el: $('.cart-info'),
|
|
||||||
template: _.template($('#store_cart_template').html()),
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
initialize: function() {
|
|
||||||
Backbone.View.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
|
|
||||||
this.collection.bind('update', this.render.bind(this));
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
%$
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And there is the major magic. CartWidget will be initialized with the
|
|
||||||
ItemCollection; when there is any change in the collection, the widget
|
|
||||||
will receive the 'change' event, which will automatically trigger the
|
|
||||||
call to the widget's [[render()]] method.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The render method will refill that widget's HTML with a re-rendered
|
|
||||||
template with the new count and cost, and then wiggle it a little to
|
|
||||||
show that it did changed:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<cart widget>>=
|
|
||||||
render: function() {
|
|
||||||
var tel = this.$el.html(this.template({
|
|
||||||
'count': this.collection.getTotalCount(),
|
|
||||||
'cost': this.collection.getTotalCost()
|
|
||||||
}));
|
|
||||||
tel.animate({ paddingTop: '30px' }).animate({ paddingTop: '10px' });
|
|
||||||
return this;
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may have noticed that every render ends in [[return this]]. There's
|
|
||||||
a reason for that. Render is supposed to be pure statement: it's not
|
|
||||||
supposed to calculate anything, nor is it supposed to mutate anything on
|
|
||||||
the Javascript side. It can and frequently does, but that's beside the
|
|
||||||
point. By returning [[this]], we can then call something immediately
|
|
||||||
afterward.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, let's say you have a pop-up dialog. It starts life
|
|
||||||
hidden. You need to update the dialog, then show it:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<example>>=
|
|
||||||
myDialog.render().show();
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Because what render() return is [[this]], this code works as expected.
|
|
||||||
That's how you do chaining in HTML/Javascript.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Back to our code. The HTML for the Cart widget template is dead simple:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<cart template>>=
|
|
||||||
<script id="store_cart_template" type="text/x-underscore-template">
|
|
||||||
<p>Items: <%= count %> ($<%= cost %>)</p>
|
|
||||||
</script>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
%$
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Lastly, there is the [[Router]]. In Backbone, the Router is a
|
|
||||||
specialized View for invoking other views. It listens for one
|
|
||||||
specific event: when the [[window.location.hash]] object, the part of
|
|
||||||
the URL after the hash symbol, changes. When the hash changes, the
|
|
||||||
Router invokes an event handler. The Router, since its purpose is to
|
|
||||||
control the major components of the one-page display, is also a good
|
|
||||||
place to keep all the major components of the sytem. We'll keep track
|
|
||||||
of the [[Views]], the [[ProductCollection]], and the
|
|
||||||
[[ItemCollection]].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<router>>=
|
|
||||||
var BackboneStore = Backbone.Router.extend({
|
|
||||||
views: {},
|
|
||||||
products: null,
|
|
||||||
cart: null,
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two events we care about: view the list, and view a detail.
|
|
||||||
They are routed like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<router>>=
|
|
||||||
routes: {
|
|
||||||
"": "index",
|
|
||||||
"item/:id": "product"
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Like most Backbone objects, the Router has an initialization feature.
|
|
||||||
I create a new, empty shopping cart and corresponding cart widget,
|
|
||||||
which doesn't render because it's empty. I then create a new
|
|
||||||
[[ProductCollection]] and and corresponding [[ProductListView]].
|
|
||||||
These are all processes that happen immediately.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
What does not happen immediately is the [[fetch()]] of data from the
|
|
||||||
back-end server. For that, I use the jQuery deferred again, because
|
|
||||||
[[fetch()]] ultimately returns the results of [[sync()]], which
|
|
||||||
returns the result of an [[ajax()]] call, which is a deferred.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<router>>=
|
|
||||||
initialize: function(data) {
|
|
||||||
Backbone.Router.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
|
|
||||||
this.cart = new ItemCollection();
|
|
||||||
new CartWidget({ collection: this.cart });
|
|
||||||
this.products = new ProductCollection([], { url: 'data/items.json' });
|
|
||||||
this.views = {
|
|
||||||
'_index': new ProductListView({ collection: this.products })
|
|
||||||
};
|
|
||||||
$.when(this.products.fetch({ reset: true })).then(function() {
|
|
||||||
return window.location.hash = '';
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
%$
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two things to route \textit{to}, but we must also route
|
|
||||||
\textit{from}. Remember that our two major views, the product list
|
|
||||||
and the product detail, inherited from [[\_BaseView]], which has the
|
|
||||||
[[hide()]] and [[show()]] methods. We want to hide all the views,
|
|
||||||
then show the one invoked. First, let's hide every view we know
|
|
||||||
about. [[hide()]] returns either a deferred (if the object is being
|
|
||||||
hidden) or null. The [[_.filter()]] call at the end means that this
|
|
||||||
method returns only an array of deferreds.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<router>>=
|
|
||||||
hideAllViews: function() {
|
|
||||||
return _.filter(_.map(this.views, function(v) { return v.hide(); }),
|
|
||||||
function(t) { return t !== null; });
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Showing the product list view is basically hiding everything, then
|
|
||||||
showing the index. The function [[$$.when]] takes arguments of what to
|
|
||||||
wait for; to make it take an array of arguments, you use the
|
|
||||||
[[.apply()]] method.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<router>>=
|
|
||||||
index: function() {
|
|
||||||
var view = this.views['_index'];
|
|
||||||
return $.when.apply($, this.hideAllViews()).then(function() {
|
|
||||||
return view.show();
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
},
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On the other hand, showing the product detail page is a bit trickier.
|
|
||||||
In order to avoid re-rendering all the time, I am going to create a
|
|
||||||
view for every product in which the user shows interest, and keep it
|
|
||||||
around, showing it a second time if the user wants to see it a second
|
|
||||||
time. Note that the view only needs to be rendered \textit{once}, after
|
|
||||||
which we can just hide or show it on request.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Not that we pass it the [[ItemCollection]] instance. It uses this to
|
|
||||||
create a new item, which (if you recall from our discussion of
|
|
||||||
[[getOrCreateItemForProduct()]]) is automagically put into the
|
|
||||||
collection as needed. Which means all we need to do is update this
|
|
||||||
item and the item collection \textit{changes}, which in turn causes
|
|
||||||
the [[CartWidget]] to update automagically as well.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<router>>=
|
|
||||||
product: function(id) {
|
|
||||||
var view = this.views[id];
|
|
||||||
if (!view) {
|
|
||||||
var product = this.products.detect(function(p) {
|
|
||||||
return p.get('id') === id;
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
view = this.views[id] = new ProductView({
|
|
||||||
model: product,
|
|
||||||
itemcollection: this.cart
|
|
||||||
}).render();
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
return $.when(this.hideAllViews()).then(function() {
|
|
||||||
return view.show();
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
%$
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally, we need to start the program
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<initialization>>=
|
|
||||||
$(document).ready(function() {
|
|
||||||
new BackboneStore();
|
|
||||||
return Backbone.history.start();
|
|
||||||
});
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
%$
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\section{The Program}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here's the entirety of the program. Coffeescript provides its own
|
|
||||||
namespace wrapper:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<store.js>>=
|
|
||||||
<<models>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product collection>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<cart collection>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<base view>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product list view>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<product detail view>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<cart widget>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<router>>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<<initialization>>
|
|
||||||
@
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And that's it. Put it all together, and you've got yourself a working
|
|
||||||
Backbone Store.
