Employee Directory

Sample Mobile/PhoneGap Application built with Backbone.js, RequireJS and Topcoat

"Backbone Directory" is a simple Employee Directory application built with Backbone.js, RequireJS, and [Topcoat] (http://topcoat.io).

Refer to this blog for more information about the application.

The application runs out-of-the-box with an in-memory data store.

If you want to experiment the application with other persistence layers, download the REST services in the following repositories:

• directory-rest-php (PHP implementation)

directory-backbone-topcoat-require's Issues

Will Not Navigate to Employee Detail

I have build the app with PhoneGap Build and Xcode. I can not get pass the initial Employee Listing. I am using jsonp for storage and the initial search comes up perfectly fine. On my local machine it works fine because I have added it to IIS. I can not get it to work on the device.

Uncaught ReferenceError: reports is not defined

Is it on purpose that the json model doesn't have the ReportsCollection defined ?

rendering the 'reports list' is not OK when using the json storage

When I use the memory storage , there is no issue.. people can see the manager and the list of user reporting to him..

but when I use the json storage with same data on the node.js server sent (checked the json returned ), then people can see ONLY the manager.... not the list of people reporting to him...

    render: function () {
        this.$el.html(template(this.model.attributes));
        this.model.reports.fetch();
        this.listView = new EmployeeListView({collection: this.model.reports, el: $(".scroller", this.el)});
        return this;
    }
