    text
    <p>Using backbone.js:</p> <p>I have a top level ModelA that contains 2 attributes and 2 nested models, ModelB and ModelC. ModelB and ModelC each have 2 attributes as follows:</p> <pre><code>ModelA attributeA1 attributeA2 ModelB attributeB1 attributeB2 ModelC attributeC1 attributeC2 </code></pre> <p>There is a ViewA for ModelA, and a ViewB for ModelB. ViewA's render function places a new div onto the body, whereas ViewB's render creates an h1. ViewA's initialization calls ViewB's render to insert that h1 into the new div. The rationale behind this separation is that the h1 may change and require re-rendering independent from ViewA.</p> <pre><code>ViewA initialise: //call ViewA's own render function this.render() //call ViewB's render function that further modifies the $("#new") div created earlier. $("#new").append(ViewB.render().el) //ViewA's own render function render: //place &lt;div id="new"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; onto 'body' ViewB render: //create a &lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; funcB1: //can this access it's parent ModelA's attributes and other objects? </code></pre> <p>Q1: ViewB has a function funcB1. Can this function access it's parent model's attributes? Attributes such as attributeA1, or even attributeC1 (which would be a sibling/cousin)?</p> <p>Q2: As a further expansion to Q1, can funcB1 access the DOM elements associated with ViewA? (in this example, the #new div?)</p> <p>Q3: In general, how do I define the associations between the Views and Models as described above so that everything ties together properly?</p> <p>I realize this question is somewhat abstract but any appreciate any help or guidelines appreciated.</p>

    1. COHave you tried writing tests to see if those answers your questions?

    2. COI tried to play around with some code for Q1 and Q2 but couldn't get them to work. I figured the best way to ask this question was just in pseudocode and allow the more js-versed guys out there to point me in right direction.

    3. COI'd suggest you write seperate questions with the failing code so that js programmers can point out what's wrong.

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.
