How do I pass the name variable from the router to the FriendInfocollection? Anytime

  • 0

How do I pass the name variable from the router to the FriendInfocollection? Anytime I browse to localhost/app/person/MyName console.log returns a 404 for localhost/slim/index.php/person/

Can someone point me in the right direction on sharing this variable with the collection so it uses the correct url?

    You should define routers like this :

    var AppRouter = Backbone.Router.extend({
    routes: {
        'name/:name'                : 'getPerson'
    },
getPerson: function(name) {
    var callperson = new Person.Details({
        name        :   name
    });
}

    Instantiate routes when dom ready

        app_router = new AppRouter;

    Now you can access the name like this on your view:

        this.options.name

    But you must define the options variable inside the initialize functions

        initialize: function ( options )

    And for sure you can set the model like this :

        model.set('name', name)
