samduvall / backbone-relationships Goto Github PK

Hey Sam,

I was trying out your library today and found the codec idea to be pretty great. Unfortunately when I set up a quick example, my codecs weren't affecting my model fields at all. After further inspection of the code it appeared that the format of the "fields" object in your examples is possibly out of date? Or maybe I somehow have an older version of your code. Correct me if I'm wrong but in your examples fields is an array that looks like this:

fields: [
  {name: 'exampleField', codec: Date}
]

But it should be this:

fields: {
  example: {type: Date}
}

After changing my format to the latter, my codecs started working.

On another note, when importing your library using require, it does not work. The issue is that the your index.js which is used as the entry point when the library is required, builds up the library in a way in which each piece (Relation.js, Model.js, has-one.js, etc) are not aware of eachother or some of their needed dependencies and the browser now throws an error that the HasOne object cannot be found. I fixed this by changing the using the fully built backbone-relationships.js file as my index.js and it now works as expected. Note: This issue shows up when you try to use npm's "Try it out" functionality on npmjs.com.

Hope this helps! Love the library now that I have it working.
