Backbone Dirty
Server-side overrides for Backbone to use node-dirty for Model persistence.
Compatibility
Backbone 0.3.3.
Usage
Pass a filepath to the db (will be created if it doesn't exist yet) when
calling require().
var Backbone = require('backbone');
Backbone.sync = require('backbone-dirty')('app.db').sync;
// Backbone.sync will now load and save models from app.db.
Conventions
backbone-dirty stores models in the node-dirty db using the model.url as
its key. Collections retrieve models by matching the Collection url against
the initial portion of the Model url.
var orange = new FruitModel({id: 'orange'});
var apple = new FruitModel({id: 'apple'});
var banana = new FruitModel({id: 'banana'});
console.log(orange.url()); // fruits/orange
console.log(apple.url()); // fruits/apple
console.log(banana.url()); // fruits/banana
var fruits = new FruitCollection();
console.log(fruits.url); // fruits
fruits.fetch(); // retrieves orange, apple, banana
