Hi I am following this tutorial. I am having problem with showing events on calendar. I have following code

var EventsView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function () {
_.bindAll(this);
this.collection.bind(‘reset’, this.addAll);
},

render: function () {
this.$el.fullCalendar({
header: {
left: ‘prev, next today’,
center: ‘title’,
right: ‘agendaWeek,agendaDay’,
ignoreTimezone: false
},
defaultView: ‘agendaWeek’,
selectable: true,
selectHelper: true,
editable: true
});

return this;
},

addAll: function () {
this.el.fullCalendar(‘addEventSource’, this.collection.toJSON());
}
});

I have a complete question below

Interesting approach thanks for sharing. I’m wondering if views newing up sub views is the best approach though … I see it as common practice in the wild but wonder if an app.js could use DI and inject any depended on sub views etc. and then manage the disposal of those sub views by calling their close method (as I agree that they should be responsible for any custom unwinding required).

Good question. Put bluntly, there probably isn’t much advantage in using RequireJS in a Rails environment. However, we happened to already be using it before we shifted to Rails, and discarding it would have involved a whole bunch of changes to our codebase. Given that we were able to find a gem that supported it out-of-the-box, we kept it.

If we were starting the project again from scratch in a Rails environment, we probably wouldn’t be using RequireJS.

What’s the benefit of using RequireJS over Rails manifest files? I haven’t found a need for RequireJS in a Rails environment.
