<p>Im very new to Backbone.js and have been following a couple tutorials to come up with the script below. What I am trying to achieve is retrieving JSON data from a rest api when my routes are used. If you look at the people function for the friends route you can see where im going with this. Where am i going wrong?</p> <pre><code><!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>I have a back bone</title> </head> <body> <button id="add-friend">Add Friend</button> <ul id="friends-list"> </ul> <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.3.3/underscore-min.js"></script> <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/backbone.js/0.9.2/backbone-min.js"></script> <script> Friend = Backbone.Model.extend({ name: null, age: null, }); FriendDetailModel = Backbone.Model.extend(); FriendDetailCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({ url: 'slim/index.php/friends/', model: FriendDetailModel }); Friends = Backbone.Collection.extend({ initialize: function(models, options) { this.bind("add",options.view.addFriendLi); } }); AppView = Backbone.View.extend({ el: $("body"), initialize: function() { this.friends= new Friends(null, {view:this}); }, events: { "click #add-friend": "showPrompt", }, showPrompt: function () { var friend_name = prompt("Who is your friend?"); var friend_age = prompt("What is your friends age?"); var friend_model = new Friend({name: friend_name, age: friend_age}); this.friends.add(friend_model); }, addFriendLi: function(model) { $("#friends-list").append("<li>" + model.get('name') + " " + model.get('age') + "</li>"); } }); var appview = new AppView; AppRouter = Backbone.Router.extend({ routes: { "friends":"people", "person/:name":"personDetail" }, people: function() { console.log('all the people'); var people = new FriendDetailCollection; people.fetch({ success: function(data) { console.log(data); } }, personDetail: function(name) { console.log('one person named ' + name); } }); var approuter = new AppRouter; Backbone.history.start(); </script> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>after running people.fetch Console.log shows</p> <pre><code>d _byCid: Object _byId: Object length: 4 models: Array[4] __proto__: x </code></pre> <p>If i do console.log(data.toJSON()); it returns </p> <pre><code>[] </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
