how to use Backbone.js, but in the NO-RESTful way?

Question

I\'m now a front-end developer, and I have a project which is fine to use BackboneJS, and the server-side is written by others. Is there anyone who can tell me how to override

Answer 1

The best option in your case is plugin like Backbone.service. It is Backbone service for non restful or semi restful apis.

// define server targets / endpoints
var targets = {
  login: ["/login", "post"],
  signup: ["/signup", "post"],
  logout: ["/logout", "get"],
  search: "/search" // defaults to get
  resetPassword: ["/resetpassword", "post"],
  updateSettings: ["/updateSettings", "post"]
};

// standalone service
var service = new Backbone.Service({ url: "http://localhost:5000", targets: targets });

// extend backbone model
var User = Backbone.Model.extend(service);

You can use it like this:

var user = new User();
user.login({ username: 'bob', password: 'secret' });
