A drop-in plugin that allows you to turn Backbone.js's Collection object into an RSS/ATOM feed. Much thanks to Jean-François Hovinne for the jFeed library.
- jFeed from jfhovinne
- JQuery
- Backbone.js (Tested in 0.5.3)
- Underscore.js (Tested in 1.2.3)
Add these dependencies to your <head>, in order:
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="underscore.js"></script>
<script src="backbone.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.jfeed.js"></script>
<script src="backbone.jfeed.js"></script>
Simply extend the Backbone.JFeed.Collection instead of Backbone.Collection.
var PostsCollection = Backbone.JFeed.Collection.extend({
model: Post,
feedUrl: 'http://yourdomain/feed.xml'
});
var posts = new PostsCollection();
posts.fetch();
posts.first().get('title')
=> 'Title of My Blog Post'
NOTE: As we're talking about feeds, the add and create methods of Backbone.JFeed.Collection will obviously not work.
