inkling / backbone.native Goto Github PK

Would be nice to be able to install it through bower. Would be awesome if you guys pulled it off!

I'm trying to use delegateEvents, but it seems not to work for me, not sure if it's related to backbone.native.
This is working using native js (see commented code). Any ideas ?

Here is a part of the (simplified) view I'm working on (using browserify)

var Backbone = require("backbone")
Backbone.$ = require("backbone.native")

var dom = require("../../dom") // homemade helper

module.exports = Backbone.View.extend({
 , events: {
     "scroll .js-ss-PageContent": "checkScroll"
   }

, initialize: function() {
    this.el.innerHTML = (require("./index.jade"))()

    // i've to use that since `events` doesn't work :(
    //this.elScroll = dom.$(".js-ss-PageContent", this.el)[0]
    //this.elScroll.addEventListener("scroll", this.checkScroll.bind(this), false)
  }

, checkScroll: function() {
    console.log("interesting scroll spotted")
  }
})

We love backbone.native.

I realize of course that it "is not a drop-in replacement for all of jQuery", though we believe there is room for some basic jQuery functionality.

For our purposes, we use backbone.native and extend it with some simply written, true jQuery functions that cover 90% of our html element rendering / manipulation requirements. The following functions are 300 lines unminified:

find, each, children, first, last, append, attr, removeAttr, show, hide, hasClass, addClass, removeClass, toggleClass, css, text, val, data, get, post, getJSON, getScript

Of course we appreciate the README jQuery Collection behavior comment, though our find function above appears to provide the correct native Backbone functionality of this.$.

If this resonates with you, I will create a pull request. An alternative is a backbone.native.extended lib, though its nice to keep all wrapped in a single file.

So you can more exposure, users, testers and searchablity from backplug.io.
