A JS library that laughs at your four winds.
Below is our example JSON response from the RESTful API endpoint http://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: 'http://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
