Question

I am new trying to make use Routers in backbone but my Backbone.history.start() method does not work. It gives me below error

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'start' of undefined 

Here is my code

(function ($) {
window.App = {
    Models: {},
    Collections: {},
    Views: {},
    Router: {}
};

window.Template = function (id) {
    return _.template( $('#' + id).html() );
};

App.Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
    routers: {
        '': 'index'
    },

    index: function () {
        console.log('index page');
    }
});

var r = new App.Router;
Backbone.history.start();
})(jQuery);

How can I remove this error?

Answer 1

It happens because you do not have any routes in your Router.
You have routers and it’s not the same 🙂
