model

Model.js

A model has to inherit from a Backbone.Model. It looks like this:

var ContactModel = Fmk.Models.Model.extend({
  modelName: "contact"
  url: "http://domain/api/contact",
  initialize: function(options){
    //Some initialization code here.
    if(!this.isNew()){
      this.set({creationDate: new Date()});
    }
  },
  metadatas:{
    firstName: {
      "doamain": "DO_SHORT_LABEL"
    }
  }
});

• Has an url property
• Has metadatas
• Maintain attributes (modelName and metadatas attributes)
• Trigger events when updtated
• In the Fmk.js the default Backbone model has been extended mainly in order to deal with medatdatas.
• It also have special methods in order to be save.
• The json model is the input and the output of the services.
