Spine Substack

example_root.js.coffee

class App.Root extends Spine.Stack
  controllers:
    resources:  App.Resources
    users:      App.Users
    
  routes:
    '/resources' : 'resources'
    '/users'     : 'users'
    
  default: 'users'
  className: 'stack root'

example_users.js.coffee

class App.Users extends Spine.SubStack
  controllers:
    search      : Search
    show        : Show
    profile     : Profile
    
  routes:
    '/users/search'           : 'search'
    '/users/search?q=:query'  : 'search'
    '/users/profile'          : 'profile'
    '/users/:id'              : 'show'
  
  default: 'search'
  className: 'stack users'

substack.js.coffee

class Spine.SubStack extends Spine.Stack
  
  constructor: ->
    for key,value of @routes
      do (key,value) =>
        @routes[key] = =>
          @active()
          @[value].active(arguments...)
    super

what arguments go into here? @[value].active(arguments...)

And when do you ever call new SubStack to actually add the rendering to it.

If you pass a function, it will be bound the the activate trigger, so it will be called when the controller is activated, if you don't pass it anything, it will activate the controller.

You subclass the substack controller, and initialize it the same way you would with a stack.
