How to find the Id of model corresponding to clicked item?

Question

How to know the Id of item I clicked? my code is given below:

$(function() {
  ipl.mvc.view.openings_view = ipl.mvc.vi         


        

Answer 1

This is another (newer versions of backbone?) way of doing this: (I see @Sander shows the model.get method in his remarks)

var AppointmentView = Backbone.View.extend({
  events: {
    'click' : 'alertTitle'
  },

  alertTitle : function(e) {
    // this.model.get('id') is what you're looking for
    alert( this.model.get('title') );
  }
});

Answer 2

actually what you need is this:

1. you have set the data-id on the html element in the template

2. you added a method to be executed on the right event (editPost)

3. in that editPost method you can do this:

   editPost: function(e){
     e.preventDefault();
     var id = $(e.currentTarget).data("id");
     var item = this.collection.get(id);
   }
   

remark i noticed your code has too many closing tags, so it won't run here, and i also noticed in your editPost you try _this but you never declare _this. you should have had var _this = this; in that method.

remark 2 i don't understand why you even need a data-id in this example, there are two ways of rendering a view, either the view has a collection bound to it, or it has a model. When binding a collection to a view, you might somehow need to get the correct id from the element clicked to find the right model in your collection

but on your example, your view has a model bound to it, so you only have that 1 ID, which you can just get by calling this.model.get('id'); i believe your entire code example from above, is copied from another example where they use a collection in the view, since both your rendering, and the use of the data-id property suggests this.
