4. My Backbone Project | Learning Yeoman

Backbone.Model

The Backbone.Model class is used to extend application-specific domain methods and logic, which provide functionality to manage changes to data, and the ability to send CRUD (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE) operations on the server and dispatch many useful events.

Note

To bind to the model events, use the model.on('name', callback) function, which will trigger the callback when that event is invoked.

Scaffolding models

To create a new model, use the backbone:model subgenerator, open the terminal, and execute the following command to create a new post model:

$ yo backbone:model post

This command will create a new file named post.coffee located in the app/scripts/models directory; open the newly created model and add the following code:

define ['underscore', 'backbone'], (_, Backbone) ->
  'use strict'
  class PostModel extends Backbone.Model
    idAttribute: '_id'
    urlRoot: '/api/v2/learning-yeoman-ch3/posts'
    defaults...
