how to use Backbone.js, but in the NO-RESTful way?

Question

I\'m now a front-end developer, and I have a project which is fine to use BackboneJS, and the server-side is written by others. Is there anyone who can tell me how to override

Answer 1

Here's an example of a modified Backbone.js ajax call:

var Forecast = Backbone.Model.extend({
  url: function() {
    return "http://api.wunderground.com/api/7eaec3b21b154448/conditions/q/" + this.get( "zip" ) + ".json";
  },
  parse : function( data, xhr ) {
    var observation = data.current_observation;
    return {
      id: observation.display_location.zip,
      url: observation.icon_url,
      state: observation.display_location.state_name,
      zip: observation.display_location.zip,
      city: observation.display_location.city,
      temperature: observation.temp_f
    };
  }
});
