Backbone Routing

Simple router and route classes for Backbone.

Usage

Note: Backbone-routing requires a global Promise object to exist, please include a Promise polyfill if necessary.

import {Route, Router} from 'backbone-routing';

const IndexRoute = Route.extend({
  initialize(options) {
    this.collection = options.collection;
  },

  fetch() {
    return this.collection.fetch();
  },

  render() {
    this.view = new View();
    this.view.render();
  },

  destroy() {
    this.view.remove();
  }
});

const ShowRoute = Route.extend({
  initialize(options) {
    this.collection = options.collection;
  },

  fetch(id) {
    this.model = this.collection.get(id);

    if (!this.model) {
      this.model = new Model({id});
      return this.model.fetch();
    }
  },

  render() {
    this.view = new View({
      model: this.model
    });
  },

  destroy() {
    this.view.remove();
  }
});

const MyRouter = Router.extend({
  initialize() {
    this.collection = new Collection();
  },

  routes: {
    '' : 'index',
    ':id' : 'show'
  },

  index() {
    return new IndexRoute({
      collection: this.collection
    });
  },

  show() {
    return new ShowRoute({
      collection: this.collection
    });
  }
});
