Use external file for templating in backbonejs

Question

I would like to use external file for templating in backbonejs. I searched in google but could not find any suitable solution.

Could anyone say how to do that ??

Answer 1

By external file, you mean storing the template in html files and read it? If so, you need one of the module loaders such as RequireJS (See the requirejs text plugin ) or browserify (with the stringify middleware ).

Answer 2

Try declaring the templates in a new jsp file and include it in main jsp file. The backbonejs view declared for main jsp can render these new templates.
