Drupal.Backbone.Models for Services

Drupal-specific models for apps using a Services module backend. The main difference here is the use of a longer endpoint name and the need to nest the attribute's JSON values inside an object with a key of the object type (for all but users).

 
               		             
                                     
                                
                                    
                 
Drupal.Backbone.Models.Node



Node-specific settings for Drupal Services' node resource.

Override toJSON function to nest all attributes in a { node: ... } key
to make this work with the Services module implementation of node PUSH/PUT.

Drupal Backbone Collections



Specific collections for Drupal listing types.
               		                                
               		             
                                     
                                
                                    
                 
Drupal.Backbone.NodeIndexCollection



Create collection for Node resource's index interface.
               		                                
      Drupal.Backbone.Collections.NodeIndex = Drupal.Backbone.Collections.Base.extend({
        model: Drupal.Backbone.NodeModel,
        url: function() {

Drupal.Backbone.Collections.NodeView



Create collection for Views resource's index interface.
Note that this is just for views that use the "Content" display
for their nodes.  Field views will need to be handled differently.



May be worth considering if field views are really appropriate
for backbone, since it deals with collections of model objects,
and field views do not fit that mode.



    

  • TODO allow view name at initialization or fetch.
    • 

  • TODO create basic view collection, subclass node and field views.

Name of Drupal view for this collection.
               		                                
        viewName: null,

Drupal.Backbone.NodeCommentsCollection



Create collection of all comments on a given node.
