Backbone.js

backbonejs logo

Backbone.js supplies structure to JavaScript-heavy applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing application over a RESTful JSON interface. Backbone.js was originally extracted from the Rails application DocumentCloud. Philosophically, Backbone is an attempt to discover the minimal set of data-structuring (models and collections) and user interface (views and URLs) primitives that are generally useful when building web applications with JavaScript. Backbone is a library, not a framework. Synchronous events are used as the fundamental building block over constantly polling data. The main pars of Backbone are:

  • Events
  • Models – Wraps a row of data in business logic.
  • Collections – A group of models on the client-side, with sorting/filtering/aggregation logic.
  • Router (+ History)
  • Views (+ Client-side Templates) – A logical, re-usable piece of UI. Often, but not always, associated with a model.
  • Sync – Synchronization between frontend and REST API backend
