Backbone.js driver for the localForage offline storage library.
Install with bower:
bower install localforage-backbone
Run tests with grunt:
Submit issues, pull requests, etc. if something is up! <3
This library lets you override the sync()
method on your collections and models so they're saved to localForage instead of a REST server. Simply override your objects' sync()
method with the namespace for your model:
var MyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ sync: Backbone.localforage.sync('MyModel') }); var MyCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({ model: MyModel, sync: Backbone.localforage.sync('MyCollection') });
Now whenever you save your collections or models, they'll be saved with localForage!
This library is only about overriding Backbone.sync
, which means that calling collection.remove(model)
won't update the offline storage.
The Backbone.Collection.remove
function is only about removing a model from a collection, to clean up all references and event listeners, but does not involve a sync
operation.
If you want to destroy a model, you should use this code instead:
// retrieve a model by its id and destroy it collection.get(id).destroy(); // or // retrieve a model by its index in the collection and destroy it collection.at(index).destroy();
