Question

I’m looking for solution to invoke backbone action for particular route in my app.

I know that it’s possible to match url like:

localhost:3000/#posts/1

But what if I need to match url like:

localhost:3000/posts/1

Opt-in to the new HTML history API / pushState, e.g.:

  Backbone.history.start( { pushState : true } );

Depending on your application, you may want to take other steps as well, e.g.:

Note that using real URLs requires your web server to be able to correctly render those pages, so back-end changes are required as well.
