I just started working with Backbone.js and I think I understood its concept.
Background: I did an interactive quiz with jQuery and Handlebars, which now I want to switch to Backbone. The survey reads all questions from the static allQuestions.json file in the same directory. The file is as follows:
{
"Q1" : {"question": "Vem är HON-chattens true Admin?",
"choices": ["Kattigpelika", "Bangan", "Naldor"],
"correctAnswer":0},
"Q2" : {"question":"Vem är chattens true mad son?",
"choices": ["Bangan","Grev3n","Mettapod"],
"correctAnswer":1
}
ETC...
(It is formatted correctly, as I used it before (with $ .getJSON)
Now I am trying to create a model:
var Question = Backbone.Model.extend({
initialize:function(){
console.log("Created a model");
}
);
which is part of the collection:
var Questions = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model : Question,
url : "allQuestions.json"
});
I need a function:
allQuestions.fetch({
success:function(){
console.log(allQuestions);
}
});
To create a new model for each object in the .json file and put it in a collection. Is it possible? Where am I thinking wrong?
I searched for almost two hours to get the answer to this question, so please tell me if you think the question is too broad.
