Backbone Marionette Displaying before fetch complete

Question

I know i am doing something stupid but my backbone marionette app is giving me template errors that don\'t make sense. It appears to be rendering a single item before the fe

Answer 1

Modified the Model to have a default value of anything i want to template. Feels Klugy but it gives me an app that works.

MyApp.Tag = Backbone.Model.extend({
    defaults :
        {
            TagName : 'None'
        }
});

Answer 2

The problem is this line in your initializer

var tagCollection = new MyApp.TagCollection({
    });

When you pass an empty object literal in to a Backbone.Collection constructor, Backbone creates an empty model in the collection. To fix this, just remove the object literal:

var tagCollection = new MyApp.TagCollection()

and it won't have the empty item in it anymore.

Answer 3

Try:

tagCollection.fetch({ wait: true });
