Working demo that utilizes backbone on the server and client in a seamless fashion

backbone-everywhere's Issues

Globals and multiple requests/sessions

Just wondering how these globals will work when multiple requests come in at the same time. Won't they cause race conditions? Is the global window object created once per session or the very first time anyone hits the server?

Can't get it to work with normal Backbone.sync method :(

Hey Morriz, thanks a lot for your backbone-everywhere code, I have been trying to get it working on an app this weekend but using the default Backbone.sync, so eventually using $.ajax when requesting data.

There seems to be an incompatibility with using jsdom and node-jquery together, as im getting the following error when fetching a collection:

500 ReferenceError: status is not defined
at Function.ajax (/.../node_modules/jquery/dist/node-jquery.js:7365:17)

If you want to recreate the same error in your app, just make a call to $.ajax somewhere in one of your routers.

I suspect that somewhere 'this' is being rescoped on the ajax success/error callback but I'm not totally sure. Please if you have time could you help me out as im sure a lot of other people would benefit from having the default Backbone.sync method working with your method.

Thanks
Chris

Anyway to get rid of getViewFunc()?

Hi Morriz, me again ;)

Is there anyway to get rid of the getViewFunc() from the Backbone code. I know this is needed to send back the modified DOM to the client when its run on the server but wouldn't it be cool if we could listen to some DOM mutation event and be called back once the DOM has finished being modified or perhaps automatically wrap each router handler function with the res.send code, possibly using _.wrap?

Is this project still being maintained?

I'm looking for a project that brings Backbone.js to Node.js.
This way, nodejs can use backbone to render any URL and package up the rest of backbone code to the browser for subsequence rendering.

I don't want any fancy feature like socket.io, database ORM. Just use plain backbone as is. Even though backbone might run on node, but it should make external rest api when dealing with data.

If you know of such project, then please let me know.

Thanks.

Collections not rendering

I run the demo app, enter a few songs and tracks, then click the songs/tracks links at the top, the songs/tracks are not rendering in the collection view, but they are being persisted as I can see the json being passed back with my song titles etc, also if I type in songs/1 in the url, then I get shown the song with id=1

Perhaps the 'reset' event of the collection is not being reacted to on the server, so that the html sent back is 'pre' the reset event is reacted to?
