Backbone.js Router initialization doesn't run immediately

Question

My code is as follows:

var AppRouter = Backbone.Router.extend({

    _data: null,
    _length: 0,
    _index: null,
    _todos: null,
    _subtodolist: null,
            


        

Answer 1

Your problem is the order of your routes. Routes are evaluated in order so the "*action" will ALWAYS match.

Try:

routes: {
  "category/:name": "hashcategory"
  "*action": "index",
}
