Question

I’m building a simple application as part of my learning(to understand REST APIs) using django and backbone. I would like to create a user registration and pass these values to django backend using json. Can someone point me to some examples and source codes to construct good APIs using django and using them with backbone?

Answer 1

I would say this is a good example, where he’s creating new wines with a model.set over a JSON api.

For example… take a look at the section with:

saveWine:function () {
        this.model.set({
            name:$('#name').val(),
            grapes:$('#grapes').val(),
            country:$('#country').val(),
            region:$('#region').val(),
            year:$('#year').val(),
            description:$('#description').val()
        });
        if (this.model.isNew()) {
            var self = this;
            app.wineList.create(this.model, {
                success:function () {
                    app.navigate('wines/' + self.model.id, false);
                }
            });
        } else {
            this.model.save();
        }

        return false;
