I would like some insight on how one would add structure a collection within a model. My simple app has teams (so a team model and collection of teams) and each team has a bunch
You could do something like:
App.Models.Player = Backbone.Model.extend({});
App.Collections.Players = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: App.Models.Player,
url: 'players',
getTeam: function(idTeam){
var gf = _.filter( this.models, function(model){
return (
model.get('idTeam') == idTeam
);
});
return gf;
}
});
App.Models.Team = Backbone.Model.extend({
players: players( this.get('id') ) // asuming that players is an App.Collections.Players instance.
});
App.Collections.Team = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: App.Models.Team,
url: 'teams'
});
And then, when you create the instances of each and collect data from the server, start the router once all collections have been populated. It should work that way.
