Thats all! Now your all set to have you links routed via Backbone!

Special routing considerations

You can specify backbone specific routing considerations by specifying data attributes with the required behavior. By default, all routing will be done with {trigger: true, replace: false}

To disable triggering: add data-bb-trigger="false"

To specify replace: add data-bb-replace

To route a link without affecting history, you can add data-bb-transparent. This option will bypass all history, and the url wont be updated, while still routing the request via Backbone's router.
