Will Backbone.Router.navigate
set test
to true
:
var test = false;
var Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
'posts': 'showPosts'
},
showPosts: function () {
test = true;
}
});
router = new Router();
Backbone.history.start();
router.navigate('posts?foo=3', {trigger: true});
assert.ok(test);
Eg, will posts?foo=3
fragment will match the posts
route by default, or do I have to set another route for that, for example: posts?*querystring
?
Thank you
PS: I know there exist the backbone-query-parameters but I want to know just for backbone.
You need to add another route with that expecting parameter :
routes: {
'posts?foo=:foo' : 'showPosts',
'posts': 'showPosts'
},
showPosts: function (foo) {
if(typeof foo != 'undefined'){
// foo parameters was passed
}
test = true;
}
update
You could define the general route to return all the query string and then parse it in the handler :
routes: {
'posts': 'showPosts',
'posts?*queryString' : 'showPosts'
},
showPosts: function (queryString) {
var params = parseQueryString(queryString);
if(params.foo){
// foo parameters was passed
}
}
...
// and the function that parses the query string can be something like :
function parseQueryString(queryString){
var params = {};
if(queryString){
_.each(
_.map(decodeURI(queryString).split(/&/g),function(el,i){
var aux = el.split('='), o = {};
if(aux.length >= 1){
var val = undefined;
if(aux.length == 2)
val = aux[1];
o[aux[0]] = val;
}
return o;
}),
function(o){
_.extend(params,o);
}
);
}
return params;
}
