Backbone.js Reviews and details

• JavaScript evolution: From Lodash and Underscore to vanilla

  Underscore was created by Jeremy Ashkenas (the creator of Backbone.js) in 2009 to provide a set of utility functions that JavaScript lacked at the time. It was also created to work with Backbone.js, but it slowly became a favorite among developers who needed utility functions that they could just call and get stuff done with without having to worry about the inner implementations and browser compatibility. - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago

• React is 10 years old

  Got it thanks for the context. I've read the web app and it seems to me it is just https://backbonejs.org/ re-written in Typescript and allows JSX. I'm very certain Typescript and JSX will have improved the DX for Backbone like apps, but it doesn't address all of the other issues that teams had with Backbone. e.g. Cyclical event propagation, state stored in the DOM (i.e. Appendchild is error prone in large code... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Just Simply – Stop saying how simple things are in our docs

  Even further nowadays, docs are created using Docusaurus. I don't have problem with it but documentation should be good (eye) friendly than easy to write. Why not be creative while writing docs such as - Backbone.js - https://backbonejs.org Or https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html as code annotation. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• The Emperor's New Library

  What we see, a decade ago, are that many of the "popular" libraries, frameworks, and methods, not surprisingly, have gone by the wayside, a lot that have remained in current code as difficult-to-removemodernize legacy cruft (Bower, Gulp, Grunt, Backbone, Angular 1, ...), and then we have the small minority that are still here. Some that remain have had their utility lessened/questioned by platform and language... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• How To Choose The Right Framework For Your Next Node.js App.

  Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.

• Ajax requests fail after upgrading to Cordova 5.0 + cordova-android@4.0

  The ajax request is made via a call to Backbone.sync() of Backbone.js, which ultimately calls jquery's $.ajax(). I haven't changed anything about how the call is made... Just upgraded cordova. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why do we need a Single Page Application? [closed]

  A lot of SPA frameworks and libraries also were developed. We can find out some of its on the internet. They are AngularJs, Reactjs, BackboneJs, DurandalJs,.. And a lot of third party components to make the Javascript coding more easy like RequireJs, Amplifyjs, BreezeJs... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Angular: A shift in paradigm

  As the internet became faster, and more reliable, and as browsers unified into “evergreen” releases, developers accepted JSON to be the only shape of data needed to travel on wires. A few years back I posted a question of which was a better framework: serving fully processed HTML scripts over Ajax, or only JSON that would be populated on client-side. See, back then, populating JSON was hand crafted, before... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• SSGs through the ages: The 'SPAs are awesome' era

  In the early 2010s — while Jekyll was being reinvented — web browsers were becoming ever more capable, spurring a proliferation of companies developing single-page applications. However, building single-page web applications required a level of shared data consistency that the most popular JavaScript framework at the time, JQuery, was not equipped to handle. We saw a number of frameworks tackle this problem,... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• "Hype" & "Garbage"? An Honest Look at the State of JavaScript Survey's Track Record

  If for some reason all 5,000 remaining Backbone.js developers on the planet all decided to take the survey the same year and pick Backbone as their number one favoritest framework ever, then that year's results would look very strange for sure. You'd see headlines about Backbone's resurgence and recruiters would start asking for five years of Backbone experience. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• How to work with APIs at a higher level

  I come from using Backbone (https://backbonejs.org/), and it has separate classes for collections and models.
