copied!<p>I'm working on a backbone project that you can take a look at here: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/myelin/" rel="nofollow">http://sourceforge.net/projects/myelin/</a> but more specifically maybe this model: <a href="http://myelin.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=myelin/myelin;a=blob;f=public/javascripts/models/tab.js;h=6b4cb6ad26d2fc12a817ec027b60b2b5ef13f463;hb=HEAD" rel="nofollow">http://myelin.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=myelin/myelin;a=blob;f=public/javascripts/models/tab.js;h=6b4cb6ad26d2fc12a817ec027b60b2b5ef13f463;hb=HEAD</a></p> <p>(a couple of caveats: This is my first project using pretty much all of the technologies I chose to use, so I'm positive I made some design errors. If you notice anything, just send me a note so I can try to fix it! I didn't use the backbone controller, and rolled up my own, but I think in your case, the default controller is exactly what you're looking for.)</p> <p>Backbone.js is very REST-ish in it's approach to dealing with things. I think if you approach it much the same way as you would in the rails world, then it may become more apparent as to a solid solution.</p> <p>For example, take a look at the way Backbone does it's routing / controllers: <a href="http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/#Controller-routes" rel="nofollow">http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/#Controller-routes</a></p> <p>It maps a route to an event, which you can set a listener to. So, in your example route above, you could fire an event, and have your projects controller catch it and execute some stuff.</p> <p>If you were implementing the example in Rails, your invoices controller would be called, you'd grab the data through your Model, then send that data off to the view to have it rendered. Same idea with backbone (Though it's more code-involved than the rails world).</p> <p>In my app, that's what's happening. The user does something in the UI, which triggers an event, which is caught and sent off to a controller. The controllers have methods very similar to the names in rails: 'get', 'index', 'create', 'destroy' etc... Once the model has done it's thing, it then calls it's view, and renders, or does whatever it needs to do.</p> <p>In the example above (tab.js), when a Tab is instantiated, it's TabContents Collection is built, but empty. Which is similar to rails (I think). Rails won't load the whole kit n kaboodle, unless you ask it to.</p> <p>Hope that helps!</p>
