where can i find advanced backbone.js examples [closed]

Question

Can someone please direct me to a resource containing an advanced backbone.js example? by advance I mean multiple pages with nested views, complex layouts etc.

I have browsed the web, gitHub repository, blogs and even purchased the "recipes with backbone" book. All of the samples are at a level of simple SPA (yes I know backbone is for that, but I know it can do much more) level, a todo list calendar, adding and deleting notes etc. Is there something a bit more advanced and complex that I can learn from? I'm no expert in backbone but for me the best way is to learn by sample

Answer 1

While it's not a complete example (it doesn't do any server-side communication, yet), I've been building a larger example app at http://bbclonemail.heroku.com

This project serves two purposes for me: providing a more in-depth example app, and providing a playground for new ideas that I have which often end up in my Backbone.Marionette add-on (go to http://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette).

There are also several good examples listed in my http://backbonetraining.net/resources page, including a Wine Cellar application, a backbone 'store', and a handful of sample projects on github from various people.

Peek into the source, it is packaged by Brunch and it is a learning experience for me too:

Answer 3

Here is my github, I've started to build out a framework to help people use backbone and Jquery to build mobile development projects. But you can use the same ideas, with Node.js and Express. Really any Javascript project.

Answer 4

Have you checked the todo-example? Is it complicated enough?

Answer 5

Here is an interesting sample app organised in modules containing models, collections and views.

demo: http://githubviewer.org/

sources: http://github.com/tbranyen/github-viewer

Answer 6

I wanted to get inspired with this Backbone Contact Manager and I found it interesting the way it manages the views, only by model an collection events.

The article also has some tips at the end.
