BACKBONE.EXPOSURE

Reduce boilerplate in your backbone models with a slightly opinionated way of doing attributes.

Creates methods for getting each attribute.

class Actor extends Exposure.Model
    defaults:
        color: 'blue'
        name: 'tobias'
        age: 34
    jump: -> console.log 'whooo!'

model1 = new Actor()

model2 = new Actor
    color: 'yellow'
    name: 'gob'
    age: 35
    tricks: 'illusions'
  
model1.color() # 'blue'
model2.tricks() # 'illusions'

Those same methods also act as setters.

model1.color 'white'
model2.name 'el pollo'

model1.color() # 'white'
model2.name() # 'el pollo'

Does the opposite for any normally defined methods!

class Actor extends Exposure.Model
    color: -> 'blue'
    name: -> 'tobias'
    age: -> 34

model1 = new Actor()

json1 = model1.toJSON()
json1.color # 'blue'
    
class DenzelWashington extends Actor
    message: 'Grrr..'
    doIt: (a, b) ->
        @set 'message', "Do it #{a} #{b}!"

dnzl = new DenzelWashington
    doIt: ['right', 'now']

dnzl.message() # 'Do it right now!'
