A JS library that laughs at your four winds.
Below is our example JSON response from the RESTful API endpoint https://example.com/snakepits/1.json
:
{
"depth": 40,
"units": "meters",
"owner": {
"name": "Crom",
"title": "God of Steel"
},
"snakes": [
{
"length": "20",
"units": "meters",
"isVenomous": true,
"likes": "killing the shit out of people."
},
{
"length": "12",
"units": "meters",
"isVenomous": false,
"likes": "long walks on the beach."
}
]
}
And now, the corresponding Backbone Models, leveraging Crom:
class Person extends Crom.Model
defaults:
name: null
title: null
class Snake extends Crom.Model
defaults:
length: 0
units: null
isVenomous: false
likes: null
class Snakes extends Crom.Collection
model: Snake
class Snakepit extends Crom.Model
# our glorious RESTful endpoint
url: 'https://example.com/snakepits'
defaults:
depth: 0
units: null
# Here we have some nested data
nested: ->
owner: Person
snakes: Snakes
Now we're able to put our models to the test:
snakepit = new Snakepit(id: 1)
snakepit.fetch()
snakepit.owner # -> an instance of the Person model
snakepit.snakes # -> an instance of the Snakes collection
