    <p>I would like to use <a href="https://github.com/PaulUithol/Backbone-relational" rel="noreferrer">backbone-relational</a> to have nested models in my <a href="http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/" rel="noreferrer">backbone.js</a> application. </p> <p>I have been able to follow the examples in the documentation to create nested objects (e.g. one-to-many relations). However I don't understand how to bind the lower level elements in a way that will update the upper level objects. I think a working application would be a very helpful tutorial.</p> <p>So my question is: How do I extend the <a href="http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/examples/todos/index.html" rel="noreferrer">Todos tutorial</a> using <code>backbone-relational</code> so that:</p> <ul> <li>one can add/remove subitems for each item</li> <li>double clicking on any subitem edits it (just like the original Todo example)</li> <li>clicking on an item hides/reveals its subitems</li> <li>subitems are not fetched separately but are simply an array attribute of Todo items</li> </ul> <p><strong>Update</strong>: I have <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/ZN96a/6" rel="noreferrer">created a jsfiddle for this question</a>. So far I have:</p> <ul> <li>Imported the Todo example mentioned above</li> <li>Created a <code>TodoSubitem</code> model and a <code>TodoSubitemList</code> collection</li> <li>Altered the <code>Todo</code> model to extend <code>RelationalModel</code> instead of <code>Model</code>, with a <code>HasMany</code> relation to <code>TodoSubitem</code></li> <li>Added a <code>subitem-template</code> in the html code</li> </ul> <p>But I'm still not sure how to:</p> <ul> <li>add an input field for <code>subitems</code> that appears only when you click a <code>Todo</code> div</li> <li>have subitem data as an attribute of <code>Todo</code> objects, but still have <code>TodoSubitemView</code> bind DOM elements to them (e.g. <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> tags).</li> </ul>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
