this is a simple pubsub messaging library
then you ask the service for what you want
in our case, we will ask for an Orders collection
var orders = Radio.request(‘entities’, ‘orders’);
sorry that should be
bb.Radio
so lets add that above the ReportsView
like you do for the pos/products Route
if it’s above the ReportsView it will return
undefined because the app hasn’t started yet
in the Route.initialize is the correct spot for this
so everytime the reports route is triggered, it will get an instance of the orders collection
pushed what I did to the repo
awesome, very impressed
but thanks ;)
ok on to the View
so, as part of my custom Route object, it will call the fetch method (if there is one)
this returns a promise, so that the view does not render until the data is available
in the case of IndexedDB this is 10-20 ms
in the case of WC REST API this could be a minute on some servers
so in the Route, the fetch must complete before the render starts
what you’re doing is great … all entities and routes and views will follow this pattern
the template function will actually get an array of items, see here: http://marionettejs.com/docs/v2.4.7/marionette.itemview.html#rendering-a-collection-in-an-itemview
we’ll deal with that later .. because it’s a bit complicated
for now, lets just use a Marionette helper called templateHelpers http://marionettejs.com/docs/v2.4.7/marionette.view.html#viewtemplatehelpers
