Any recommendations for deep data structures with Backbone?

Question

I\'ve run into a headache with Backbone. I have a collection of specified records, which have subrecords, for example: surgeons have scheduled procedures, procedures have equip

Answer 1

I would separate out the different surgeons, procedures, equipment, etc. as different resources in your web service. If you only need to update the equipment for a particular procedure, you can update that one procedure.

Also, if you didn't always need all the information, I would also lazy-load data as needed, but send down fully-populated objects where needed to increase performance.
