How do I use namespaces in Backbone with RequireJs
- by dev.pus
I am unsure how I use namespaces in an modularized (RequireJs) Backbone environment.
I have thought a bit how it could look like but am totally unsure if this is the right way.
app.js (getting executed by main.js)
define('App', ['underscore', 'backbone', 'Router'], function( _, Backbone, Router){
function initialize(){
var app = {}; // app is the global namespace variable, every module exists in app
app.router = new Router(); // router gets registered
Backbone.history.start();
}
return { initialize: initialize }
});
messages.js
define('MessageModel', ['underscore', 'backbone', 'App'], function(_, Backbone, App){
App.Message.Model; // registering the Message namespace with the Model class
App.Message.Model = Backbone.Model.extend({
// the backbone stuff
});
return App;
});
Is this the right approach or am I fully on the wrong way (if yes please correct me!)
