Question

I am using the underscore.js template library with my backbone example. My template looks like this:

<script id="results-template" type="text/template">
    <h2><%= title %></h2>
</script>

The JSON object looks like this:

{"src":"placeholder.jpg","title":"an image placeholder","coordinates":[0,0],"tags":["untagged"],"location":"home"}

I am trying to parse this object through my template but the error I get through my console is:

Uncaught ReferenceError: title is not defined

What am I doing wrong? Live fiddle is here: http://jsfiddle.net/amit_e/muLjV/46/

Answer 1

your problem is this:

JSON.stringify(myPhoto)

this needs to be

myPhoto.toJSON()

reason: your JSON.stringify() will put the whole myPhoto model as a json string. now, Backbone has this function to output json as a json object, so you can use model.toJSON()
