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
so we’ll pass that into the Reports View as an option
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
var ReportsView = app.ItemView.extend({
template: _.template('<%= total %>'),
templateHelpers: function () {
return {
total: _.sum( this.collection.map('total') )
};
}
});
I mostly wanted to introduce Backbone.Radio as a way to pass data around the app.
And also the Entities service
I'll have a look at all that in details
I should also point out that the current repo has known bugs .. so don’t be too alarmed if you see something broken
bonne nuit!
