Reminders!

Part 1

Setup

• Create a main index.html for our backbone application
• Install BB dependencies using Bower.
• Create files neccessary for creating model and collection definitions for Posts

Models and Collections!

• Create Backbone model and collection definitions for Posts

In the console:

• Create at least 5 instances of the Post backbone model
• use setter methods on the instances you created to set a new attribute
• play with getter methods to get attributes of a backbone instance you created
• Create a Posts collection that contains some of the 5 instances you created earlier
• use methods on a collection to add or set instances of the backbone model to your collection

Bonus

• Use your posts' models and collections to generate some views!

Part 2

Setup

• Fork/clone the reminders_rails_api

Note this is explicitly only serving as the backend api endpoint. Continue to use your index.html and dependencies there.

Add urls

• add urls to your model and collection definitions

In the console:

• save a backbone object to your database
• update that object and save to see the updates in your database
• create an object in your database through a collection
• update an existing object in your database and save it

Bonus

• Use your posts and collections to genereate some views!
• Sit your backbone on top of the Rails application instead of your index.html
