I am trying to update my view whenever I add a new model to my collection. My first question is do I automatically add a model to my collection when I save that model, like:
PostsApp.Views.Form = Backbone.View.extend({
template: _.template($('#form-template').html()),
render: function(){
this.$el.html(this.template(this.model.toJSON()));
},
events:{
'click button' : 'save'
},
save: function(e){
console.log(is this working);
e.preventDefault();
var newname = this.$('input[name=name-input]').val();
var newadress = this.$('input[name=adress-input]').val();
this.model.save({name: newname, adress : newadress});
}
});
or do I still have to do collection.add()
Other than that to see the new model in my view I am trying to add an 'add' event listener like this:
PostsApp.Views.Posts = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(){
this.collection.on('add', this.addOne, this);
},
render: function(){
this.collection.forEach(this.addOne, this);
},
addOne: function(post){
var postView = new PostsApp.Views.Post({model:post});
postView.render();
this.$el.append(postView.el);
}
});
This not only doesnt work, but when I add the initialize method, it just duplicates everything in my model when the page is first loaded.
