Backbone Model fetched from Lithium controller is not loaded properly in bb Model
- by Nilesh Kale
I'm using backbone.js and Lithium.
I'm fetching a model from the server by passing in a _id that is received as a hidden parameter on the page.
The database MongoDB has stored the data correctly and can be viewed from console as:
{ "_id" : ObjectId("50bb82694fbe3de417000001"), "holiday_name" : "SHREE15", "description": "", "star_rating" : "3", "holiday_type" : "family", "rooms" : "1", "adults" : "2", "child" :"0", "emails" : "" }
The Lithium Model class is so:
class Holidays extends \lithium\data\Model {
public $validates = array(
'holiday_name' => array(
array(
'notEmpty',
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please key-in a holiday name! (eg. Family trip for summer holidays)'
))); }
The backbone Holiday model is so:
window.app.IHoliday = Backbone.Model.extend({
urlRoot: HOLIDAY_URL,
idAttribute: "_id",
id: "_id",
// Default attributes for the holiday.
defaults: {
},
// Ensure that each todo created has `title`.
initialize: function(props) {
},
The code for backbone/fetch is:
var Holiday = new window.app.IHoliday({ _id: holiday_id });
Holiday.fetch(
{
success: function(){
alert('Holiday fetched:' + JSON.stringify(Holiday));
console.log('HOLIDAY Fetched: \n' + JSON.stringify(Holiday));
console.log('Holiday name:' + Holiday.get('holiday_name'));
}
}
);
Lithium Controller Code is:
public function load($holiday_id)
{
$Holiday = Holidays::find($holiday_id);
return compact('Holiday');
}
PROBLEM:
The output of the backbone model fetched from server is as below and the Holiday model is not correctly 'formed' when data returns into backbone Model:
HOLIDAY Fetched:
{"_id":"50bb82694fbe3de417000001","Holiday":{"_id":"50bb82694fbe3de417000001","holiday_name":"SHREE15","description":"","star_rating":"3","holiday_type":"family","rooms":"1","adults":"2","child":"0","emails":""}}
iplann...view.js (line 68)
Holiday name:undefined
Clearly there is some issue when the data is passed/translated from Lithium and loaded up as a model into backbone Holiday model. Is there something very obviously wrong in my code?
