backbone-collection

Backbone collections as a standalone component. Sync stripped out so no jQuery dependency. Can be readded with separate component.

Installation

Install with npm(1):

$ npm install backbone-collection

Install with component(1):

$ component install green-mesa/backbone-collection

API

 
  var Collection = require('backbone-collection').Collection;
 
  // from here it's Backbone's usual API... except without sync.
 

Adding Backbone Sync functionality.

You need to $ component install green-mesa/backbone-sync (which, by the way, will also install jQuery. Fun times. A non-jQuery replacement would be good at this point)

 
    var Collection = require('backbone-collection').Collection;
    var sync = require('backbone-sync').sync;
    
    Collection.prototype.sync = function(){
 
        return sync.apply(this, arguments);
 
    };

Some commonJS related quirks mean that overridding the ajax handler is a bit pointless as you've already got jQuery installed by default. Write a replacement backbone-sync module and use that instead. That's the component way.
