noveogroup / backbone.iobind Goto Github PK

Hey
I hope i am not bugging you too much with my posts !
When you call Backbone.sync io, "emit" substitute the usual ajax call.

when server is not responding ajax sync call the error function with the http error. Could we handle this kind of error in backbone.io too ?

I am pretty new to Socket io so I don't know what are the best practices to deal with this errors, the simplest handler could look like that maybe

    //...
    var io = model.socket || window.socket || Backbone.socket;

    if (io.socket.connected === false) {
      options.error(new Error("socket is not connected"));
    } else {
      // ...
    }

Hi.

I'm using grunt to build my project.
When I concat all requirejs files (all libraries and classes) using requirejs optimizer (r.js) I get error:
Module name "jquery" has not been loaded yet for context: _. Use require([])

According to http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#notloaded
error is caused by backbone.iobind and backbone.iosync Common JS require because there is is a require('name') call, but the 'name' module has not been loaded yet:

  // Common JS // require JS
  var _, $, Backbone, exports;
  if (typeof window === 'undefined' || typeof require === 'function') {
    $ = require('jquery');
    _ = require('underscore');
    Backbone = require('backbone');
    exports = Backbone;
    if (typeof module !== 'undefined') module.exports = exports;
  } else {
    $ = this.$;
    _ = this._;
    Backbone = this.Backbone;
    exports = this;
  }

I also declared dependencies in requirejs config to make backbone.iobind dependend on jquery, underscore and backbone, what in theory should solve loading problems, but it didn't.

But when I remove block completely, it works both in nonconcated project and also builded project.

So my quesion is can it be just removed also in git hub repos?

Version of libraries I'm using:

"requirejs": "~2.1.4",
"jquery": "~1.9.0",
"jquery-mobile": "1.3.1",
"underscore": "~1.4.3",
"backbone": "~1.0.0",
"backbone.iobind": "*"

The website referenced in Github for API docs has very old versions of Backbone and Socket.io as dependencies (compared to the package.json).

Nothing super important, but I can't change that and I couldn't find a place to contact you outside of Github...so here it is.

:)

Hi.

I can't get iosync/iobind to play nicely with MongoDB powered backends. I have set the idAttribute: '_id' on the collection and gave it an URL and did a .fetch().

app.vios.collection.models[0].get('_id')
// => 12345
app.vios.collection.get(app.vios.collection.models[0].get('_id'))
// => undefined

This works fine if I change all _id's to id's on my server side, but that's not a change I am dieing to make since I'm using _id across all of my services.

gr,

Tom

What I ultimately want to get to is like this example from backbone.modelbinding.

if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
    // AMD support
    define([
      'backbone',    // use Backbone 0.5.3-optamd3 branch (https://github.com/jrburke/backbone/tree/optamd3)
      'underscore',  // AMD supported
      'jquery'       // AMD supported
      ], function (Backbone, _, jQuery) {
        return modelbinding(Backbone, _, jQuery);
      });
} else {
    // No AMD, use Backbone namespace
    root.Backbone = Backbone || {};
    root.Backbone.ModelBinding = modelbinding(Backbone, _, jQuery);
}

It seems the example doesn't wait to update the completed status when doing save(). I also tried with {wait: true} without success.

I tried by closing the node app and the status was still updated.

reminder to self to finish.

1. Wrapper for ioSync is defined twice. First mentioned #8 /cc @pgherveou

It would be very nice to have this as a JS module that can be loaded using http://requirejs.org.

iobind.sync does use options.url

what do you think about adding this piece of code taken from Backbone.Sync to enable this feature

    var getUrl = function (object) {

      if (options && options.url) {
        return _.isFunction(options.url) ? options.url() : options.url;
      }

      // ...
    };


// this way to trigger specialUrl:read, we can write 
collection.fetch(url: 'specialUrl') 

Hi, I am getting a Uncaught TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object error on this line https://github.com/logicalparadox/backbone.iobind/blob/master/dist/backbone.iobind.js#L136 on the client side when I delete an object on the server. The collection gets updated and removes the deleted model, and the model itself is removed, but the error pops up in my console log. Any ideas?

I am seeking a new maintainer for this project. I no longer have the time or resources to commit to it and it's current users deserve someone who does.

Here are my criteria:

• You must be an active open-source contributor with a github profile. I would prefer transferring to a github organization but highly active individuals can also apply.
• You should be using this project in production (or private beta), and I should be able to examine your usage of it.
• You must agree to keep the MIT license.

Please contact me via my github profile @logicalparadox if you are interested.

Thank you,
Jake

https://npmjs.org/package/backbone.iobind - last updated a year ago
Bower - updated about 7 hours ago, but it is still previos version

In my case (and I it's very common when you have complex model) the url looks like this: /users/profiles/categories/{cat_id}

But Backbone.iosync only uses the first part as a namespace:

if (params.url) {
    params.url = _.result(params, 'url');
  } else {
    params.url = _.result(model, 'url') || urlError();
  }

  var cmd = params.url.split('/')
    , namespace = (cmd[0] !== '') ? cmd[0] : cmd[1]; // if leading slash, ignore

Which means all models which have a URL that starts with /users/... loose the rest of the URL.

Hey,
 
Now in backbone 1.0, "options.success" is a function with a single parameter "resp"

options.success = function (resp) {
...
}

I've had problems using bb1.0 version and "success object" when I did "fetch" in collections.

backbone.iosync.js

I changed (line 78) and it seems that "iosync" still works perfectly for me.

var success = options.success;
   options.success = function (resp) {
     if (success) success (resp); / / line 78
     model.trigger ('sync', model, resp, options);
   };

Hello
great work first for this really nice plugin
I tried to drop in the code as is in my amd/require-js app and got an error on
exports = module.exports = ... as module is not defined
do we really need the "module.exports" ? It works fine once I removed it

The semver tag for 0.4.6 is from 9 months ago. Can you please update the tag?

I was trying to do something like:

Tasks.fetch({data: {project: id}});

in order to fetch all tasks associated with given project, following what the Backbone documentation recommends. I noticed that the project id wasn't making it to node, however, when using iosync. I did a little digging and found this on line 56 of the iosync code:

params.data = model.toJSON() || {};

This replaces any data passed as an option of the fetch method with the model data. I modified this to read

if( !params.data ) {
  params.data = model.toJSON() || {};
}

Which sends custom data if it exists, or just the model data if it doesn't.

Is this the correct way to achieve this?

Does this work only when the client and server is on the same host? I have an express server running on a remote machine, and my backbone app is on my local machine. And I just cant get this working. Any suggestions?

In backbone 0.9.9+, Model.save() can be defined as a patch save() by giving the option {patch:true}, but this is suppressed in iosync.js.

I only have part of my api that is using socket.io. The other part is a pure reset AJAX model. How can I support a normal Backbone fetch but also utilize backbone.iobind for socket.io calls. Since backbone.iobind is overwriting Backbone.sync, it looks to be not possible. Any suggestions?

I like this library, But I'm missing feature I call partial processing (or streaming collections)

The main benefit of websockets is that server could send collection data that spans into multiple responses. It allows partial processing.

Wouldn't it be nice if this library supports collections streaming (or partial collections)?
So server can send chunks of data (flagged with partial: true) so client knows, that more data is comming, but also can process (render) partial results.

Currently this is not possible on client (backbone) side.

Obviously, the server can't trigger events on objects without an id, but it should be possible to ioBind an object before the id is set, and have it re-bind the socket.io event.

This issue also affects any other situation where the model id changes, such as a call to clear.

I have a user object with /user url and no collections. IO.sync does not set the namespace right as cmd[0] is empty and cmd[1 ] is equal to "user". I switched to do namespace = cmd[1 ] for now but expect problems in the future.

Add travis-ci budge for CI.

Hey,

This isn't so much a bug (I assume), as a problem I am having with implementation. Basically every time I call save on a backbone model, it sends an event create out of the iosync/iobind each time. I know the first .save is suppose to create, but afterward it should do an update instead. Anyone else ever have this problem?

Tiny code implmentation below....which is a part of the item's view.

    update: function(e) {
        var text = $(e.target).html();
        this.model.save({
            title: text
        });
    }

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks for making this!

In line 77 of backbone.iosync.js, 'if (success) success(model, resp, options);' passes three arguments to the success(), this will cause the local model instances fail to update themselves.

If you look at backbone.js, line 430, 'options.success = function(resp) {' only takes one argument, that is the response object from server.

I ran into a situation that lead me to this problem after one of our developer introduced a different version of backbone.iobind.

In Backbone you can pass options to the server via the fetch method.

This could contain relevant information like what models to fetch.

Right now, the current sync() method implementation overwrites this data with the JSON representation of a given model.
This should be refactored, so that the model data is passed along with the given fetch options.

This is how we implemented it in a quick hack:

params.data = params.data || {};
params.data.model = model.toJSON() || {};

When fetching a single model, the slash and id in the URL are stripped off, and the request is sent to the collection instead, so all models in the collection are added as properties on the model being "fetched".

A simple workaround is to never fetch a model, but the entire collection instead.

Backbone can use both collection.url or collection.url()

https://github.com/whitegfx/backbone.iobind/commit/9f92eaad53f96c93d5c1c39d4729e4a0931f0af6#lib/collection.js

With backbone.iobind its not neccessarry to use a approuter, isnt it?
i get incomming items directly via this.ioBind.
So, how to use the pushstate?
Thx!

I'm backbone beginner. I think using socket.io instead of REST is wonderful. I try this backbone.iobind example in github. When i ran this project, i found that i can't remove todo item. Open project and open this TodoListItem view, i toggled some break point, TodoListItem view fired up completed and delete event. Run it step by step when it pass over

this.model.save({ completed: !!!status });

and observe this console log at server, socket at server doesn't got any update event???

Thanks for any help!!!

Hello,

I'm trying to use backbone.iobind with require.js
I have the following error message

Uncaught ReferenceError: module is not defined at backbone.iosync.js:8
Uncaught ReferenceError: module is not defined at backbone.iosync.js:8

my shim config is set as follow

shim: {
    backbone: {
        deps: ["jquery", "underscore"],
        exports: "Backbone"
    },
    underscore: {
        exports: '_'
    },        
    iosync: {
      deps: ["jquery", "underscore"],
      exports: "iosync"
    },
    iobind: {
      deps: ["jquery", "underscore", "iosync"],
      exports: "iobind"
    }
}

Could you please tell me if i have something wrong and if not when you are planning to support requirejs 2x ?

many thanks

When using the minified version of backbone.iobind.min.js, but not when using backbone.iobind.js.

Anyone else getting this error?...
