Backbone.js: urlRoot with http query string?

Question

In Backbone.js I can appoint where the model fetches it's data:

var Book = Backbone.Model.extend({urlRoot : '/books'}); var mybook = new Book({id: "1"}); mybook.fetch();  //it will access '/books/1' 

But if I want to append a query string after the URL? e.g. the book data is at /books/1&details=true. Can I specify this in model?

Answer 1

You can also use the option for the method fetch

mybook.fetch({data:{details: true}}); 

Answer 2

You will have to use a custom url function for the model.

Book.url = function() {   return this.urlRoot + '/' + this.id + '?details=true'; };
