  1. POBootstrap mongoose models into BackboneJS
    text
    copied!<p>I've got the following embedded docs Mongoose model defined</p> <pre><code> var mongoose = require("mongoose"); module.exports = function(mongoose) { var Schema = mongoose.Schema, chapters, articles; Articles = new Schema({ identity: Number, order: Number, quick_title: String, full_title: String, last_edited: Number, contributor: [String], content: String, video_link: String, presentation_link: String, question_id: [Number], show_in_chapter: Boolean, summary_text: String, summary_image: String }); chapters = new Schema({ order: Number, title: String, articles: [Articles] }); return mongoose.model('chapters', chapters); } </code></pre> <p>After getting the entire model database through a .find, I'm currently attempting to bootstrap it into a backboneJS model by using the author recommended method (using EJS templating engine):</p> <pre><code> var Chapters = Backbone.Collection.extend({}); chapters = new Chapters( JSON.stringify(&lt;%=chapters%&gt;)); </code></pre> <p>I've tried quite a few ways to get it to work, using the above code it will give me the error Unexpected SyntaxError Unexpected Number (in reference to the first title being Chapter 1)</p> <p>Any ideas on how to turn this Mongoose model into a Backbonejs model? Thanks!</p> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>Gotten it to work by using stringify before sending it to the template and then within the template, covering it with parentheses: <code>chapters = new Chapters("(" + &lt;%-chapters2%&gt; + ")");</code></p> <p>Unfortunately, this does not give me the Backbone collection I want. When I 'console.log(chapters.toJSON());', it just gives me the following </p> <pre><code>[ Object ([object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]): Object __proto__: Object ] </code></pre> <p>When using the .at method, there's also only one model at (0). Any ideas?</p>
