akre54 / backbone.attributes Goto Github PK

I came across some unexpected behavior. You might already know that it behaves this way, but I took your example to create window.playlist.

And then:

playlist.attributes;
// => undefined
playlist.getAttribute('currentTrack');
// => 0
playlist.attributes;
// returns the defaults

The expected behavior is that attributes would always exist. I only took a quick glance at the code, but it seems like attributes is only created once one of the wrapped methods is called, so that would explain the behavior.

If this isn't something you're interested in trying to resolve, it might at least be something worth mentioning in the docs.

It’d be helpful if you would include docs on how to shim or otherwise add Attributes to Backbone with RequireJS, as I’m requiring Backbone where I need it, and don’t depend on it being available on the window. I’m a bit rusty on the configuration, which makes the bar a bit too high to quickly try out what seems like a promising utility. :)
