I'm kind of new to Backbone and I'm having trouble understanding how to set the attributes of a View. I'm using a view without a model.
This is the View:
var OperationErrorView = Backbone.View.extend({
attributes: {},
render: function(){
var html = "<h3>" + this.attributes.get("error") +"</h3>";
$(this.el).html(html);
}
})
Then later on:
if (errors.length > 0){
errors.forEach(function(error){
// var errorView = new OperationErrorView({attributes: {"error": error} }); Doesn't work
var errorView = new OperationErrorView();
errorView.set({attributes: {"error": error}})
errorView.render()
$("#formAdd_errors").append(errorView.$el.html());
});
}
Which is the correct approach to do this? Right now it doesn't work: When I try the method that is not commented out, it gives me the error TypeError: errorView.set is not a function
, if I try it the first way, it just doesn't call the render() function.
UPDATE:
var OperationErrorView = Backbone.View.extend({
attributes: {},
initialize: function(attributes){
this.attributes = attributes;
},
render: function(){
var html = "<h3>" + this.attributes.get("error") +"</h3>";
console.log("html");
$(this.el).html(html);
}
})
if (errors.length > 0){
errors.forEach(function(error){
console.log(error);
var errorView = new OperationErrorView({"error": error});
errorView.render()
$("#formAdd_errors").append(errorView.$el.html());
});
}
I tried including this.render() in the initialize function. Doesn't work. Doesn't even call the render function. Why?
A couple things:
set
is not a function of a Backbone View. Check the API new OperationErrorView(...)
does not automatically evoke the render
function. You have to do this manually. attributes
property of the View does not have a get
method. Again, Check the API So, what should you do?
Research different ways to initialize a View with properties . Then figure out how to get those properties on the HTML that your View controls.
Here's a bit to get you started
var OperationErrorView = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'h3',
initialize: function(attributes) {
this.attributes = attributes;
this.render();
},
render: function(){
// attach attributes to this.$el, or this.el, here
// insert the element into the DOM
$('#formAdd_errors').append(this.$el);
}
});
// later in your code
if ( errors.length > 0 ) {
errors.forEach(function(error) {
new OperationErrorView({ error: error });
});
}
Thanks to chazsolo for the answer, all the info is there. So, I'll write the code that worked just in case someone finds it useful someday:
var OperationErrorView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(attributes){
this.attributes = attributes;
},
render: function(){
var html = "<h3>" + this.attributes.error +"</h3>";
$(this.el).html(html);
}
});
if (errors.length > 0){
errors.forEach(function(error){
var errorView = new OperationErrorView({'error':error});
errorView.render()
$("#formAdd_errors").append(errorView.$el.html());
});
}
