Question

I’m wondering if I should be using a Backbone.Collection called ExerciseList for my exercises page, which displays Exercises filtered by various properties. Each Exercise is rendered with an ExerciseRowView. So, would an ExerciseList and ExerciseListView be feasible/useful in this sort of situation?

Thanks!

Answer 1

That would work just fine, you’re definitely headed in the right direction. You’ll have to create a pagination method on the collection.

Here’s a great pagination component: https://github.com/addyosmani/backbone.paginator

Have a look at Addy Osmani’s (the plugin author) article on Backbone pagination here:

Should get you the rest of the way there.
