backbone-model v1.0.10

backbone-model

Backbone models as a discrete component, with sync stripped out.

This has been run against the official Backbone test suite and passes all tests.

Installation

Install with npm(1):

$ npm install --save backbone-model

Install with component(1):

$ component install green-mesa/backbone-model

API

Normal usage

  var Model = require('backbone-model').Model;

  var MyModel = Model.extend({ someShizzle : "Hello world"});

  var myInstanceOfMyModel = new MyModel();

Adding Backbone Sync functionality.

You need to $ component install green-mesa/backbone-sync (which, by the way, will also install jQuery. Fun times. A non-jQuery replacement would be good at this point)

	var Model = require('backbone-model').Model;
	var sync = require('backbone-sync').sync;
	
	Model.prototype.sync = function(){

		return sync.apply(this, arguments);

	};

Some commonJS related quirks mean that overridding the ajax handler is a bit pointless as you've already got jQuery installed by default. Write a replacement backbone-sync module and use that instead. That's the component way.
