temple-backbone

Temple Backbone

Adds Backbone specific handlers to Temple.

Install

Download the latest version dist/ folder and use via a script tag. The Backbone source is not included with this plugin, so it must be made available externally. Backbone depends on Underscore and, optionally, jQuery, so those should be included as well.

<script type="text/javascript" src="underscore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="backbone.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="temple.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="temple.backbone.js"></script>

If using Browserify or Node.js, you can install via NPM and use via require("temple-backbone").

$ npm install temple-backbone

Usage

To use this plugin, call .use("backbone") on a Temple view. This will enable Backbone models and collections as a compatible data type.

view.use("backbone");
view.set(new Backbone.Model({ foo: "bar" }));
view.get("foo"); // "bar"

By default, Models are non-reactive, meaning that the view will not update as data changes. To enable, you can install and manage Dependency instances yourself, or use the built in trackModel() and trackCollection() methods.

var model = new Backbone.Model({ foo: "bar" });
Temple.Backbone.trackModel(model);
view.set(model);
