GhostTrain-Backbone

GhostTrain plugin to mock routes for Backbone models.

Usage

var gt = new GhostTrain();
 
var users = {
  '1': {
    name: 'Ozzie Isaacs',
    skills: ['Planet Riding']
  }
}
 
gt.get('/users/:id', function (req, res) {
  res.send(200, users[req.parms.id]);
});
 
var User = Backbone.Model.extend(GhostTrainBackbone(gt)).extend({
  urlRoot: '/users'
});

In action:

var user = new User({ id: 1 });
user.fetch({
  success: function (model, res) {
    user.get('name'); // 'Ozzie Isaacs'
    user.get('skills'); // ['Planet Riding']
  });
});

API

GhostTrainBackbone(gt, [$])

Takes a GhostTrain instance and an optional reference to the jQuery root. Returns an object containing only a sync property containing a function that mocks Backbone.sync for Backbone models and collections. Use the return object to mixin your models and collections. If $ is provided, Backbone methods that returned the JQXHR object returned from the $.ajax call will now return a $.Deferred object.
