POBackboneJs: how do i bootstrap my data in the page markup, and when do i assign them to my collections
text
Body
copied!<p>So, building an application that uses multiple (2 for now) global collections, it is a catalog of both documents and patients, they have relations, but not as in, 1 document or a list of documents belonging to 1 patient, so they are in fact 2 separate collections,</p> <p>my app is structured in a module system very similar to how it is described here: <a href="http://weblog.bocoup.com/organizing-your-backbone-js-application-with-modules" rel="nofollow">http://weblog.bocoup.com/organizing-your-backbone-js-application-with-modules</a></p> <p>the backbone.js documentation says about bootstrapping, to do something like this,</p> <pre><code><script> Accounts.reset(<%= @accounts.to_json %>); </script> </code></pre> <p>that is within a Rails application, i would however need to do it differently in asp.net MVC3, most likely i would just print out my json string without the <%= %> which isn't razor view engine style)</p> <p>but my question here is,</p> <p>this <code>Accounts.reset(...data...);</code> is just floating somewhere in my markup, it is not in any way nicely structured in my module system, isn't there a way to nicely do this? where as i can get the data, from within my module?</p> <p>and another side question, suppose i have a route in my backbone app <a href="http://example.com/#documents" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/#documents</a></p> <p>and someone calls this link directly, will my app have the data ready (from the bootstrap) on time, before the route itself is executed?</p>
