A short example of integrating Backbone.js with Geddy.js

BaseModel.js

/*
* Extend your own models from BaseModel from now on
* e.g. `MyApp.Models.Zooby = BaseModel.extend({etc:etc})`;
*
* TODO: Don't forget to override `parse()` in your model.
*       It should be something like `return data.modelName;`
* TODO: Don't forget to handle errors! Check data.errors for them.
*/
var BaseModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
  methodUrl: function(method) {
    if(method == "delete"){
      return this.urlRoot + "/" +this.attributes.id+".json";
    }
    else if(method == "update"){
      return this.urlRoot + "/" +this.attributes.id+".json";
    }
    else if(method == "read"){
      return this.urlRoot + "/" +this.attributes.id+".json";
    }
    else if(method == "create"){
      return this.urlRoot + ".json";
    } 
    return false;
  }
});

ProxySync.js

/*
* Include after Backbone.js to modify Backbone.sync()
*/
(function() {

  var proxiedSync = Backbone.sync;

  Backbone.sync = function(method, model, options) {
    options || (options = {});
    
    //Uses our methodUrl method to get the correct path for the request
    if (model.methodUrl) {
      options.url = model.methodUrl(method.toLowerCase());
    }

    return proxiedSync(method, model, options);
  };
})();
