react.backbone ============== [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/clayallsopp/react.backbone.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/clayallsopp/react.backbone) Plugin for React to make Backbone integration easier. Initialize your component with a Backbone.Model or Backbone.Collection; when the model or collection changes, `#render` will be called. ```javascript var UserViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({ changeOptions: "change:name", // DEFAULT is "change", render: function() { return (

{this.getModel().get("name")}

); } }); var user = new Backbone.Model(); var UserView = React.createFactory(UserViewComponent); var userView = UserView({model: user}); // Mount your component directly React.render(userView, document.getElementById('element')); // Render as a subview var ProfileViewComponent = React.createClass({ render: function() { return (

); } }); var ProfileView = React.createFactory(ProfileViewComponent); var profileView = ProfileView({user: user}); React.render(profileView, document.getElementById('element')); ``` React.Backbone also plays nicely with `Backbone.Collection`. Anytime the `add`, `remove`, `reset` or `sort` events are triggered the component will re-render. ```javascript var UserViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({ render: function() { return

{ this.getModel().get('name') }

; } }); var UsersListViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({ render: function() { var usersList = this.getCollection().map(function(user) { return ; }); return (

{ usersList }

); } }); var usersList = new Backbone.Collection(); var UsersListView = React.createFactory(UsersListViewComponent); var usersListView = UsersListView({collection: usersList}); React.render(usersListView, document.getElementById('users')); ``` If you need to use multiple models, you can do so by including the mixin multiple times: ```javascript var CommentViewComponent = React.createBackboneClass({ mixins: [ // when the view is instantiated, // 'user' and 'comment' can be passed as props React.BackboneMixin("user", "change:name"), React.BackboneMixin("comment") ], render: function() { return (

{this.props.comment.get("text")}

{'posted by' + this.props.user.get("name")}

); } }); var user = new Backbone.Model(); var comment = new Backbone.Model(); var CommentView = React.createFactory(CommentViewComponent); var commentView = CommentView({user: user, comment: comment}); React.render(usersListView, document.getElementById('users')); ``` You can also pass an object with options to the included mixin: ```javascript React.BackboneMixin({ propName: "user", renderOn: "change:name" }); ``` Or supply a custom callback to the option `modelOrCollection` to retrieve the property from the component's props: ```javascript React.BackboneMixin({ modelOrCollection: function(props) { return props.comment.user; }, renderOn: "change:name" }); ``` If your Collection or Model class does not inherit directly from Backbone.Model or Backbone.Collection, you may customize the behavior on a library level by overriding the React.BackboneMixin.ConsiderAsCollection function. Return `true` if the object passed should behave as a collection. ```javascript React.BackboneMixin.ConsiderAsCollection = function (modelOrCollection) { return modelOrCollection instanceof Backbone.Collection || modelOrCollection instanceof MyCustomCollection; } ``` ### Installation Either download `react.backbone.js` or install the `react.backbone` package on Bower: ``` bower install --save react.backbone ``` You can either include react.backbone in a `
