Question

If I am building an application with backbone.js, what is the best tool or combo of tools to use for data persistence?

So I cannot answer my own question for another seven hours so I am throwing the answer in here:

I just found a great link to answer my own question. Exactly what I am looking for: http://pixelhandler.com/blog/2012/02/09/develop-a-restful-api-using-node-js-with-express-and-mongoose/

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you want something even simpler without the Mongoose dependency I've made a very short example on how to achieve basic persistence with Backbone, Express.js and MongoDB.

OTHER TIPS

You can use StackMob. Check out the website (https://www.stackmob.com/) I didn't use it a lot, but you can watch this great lecture at Udemy (http://www.udemy.com/learn-backbonejs-stackmob/), and watch the lecture 11 and 12

If you want to do a lot less coding, take a look at Urbini. It is like IFTTT, but more open as it allows you to create your own adapter to map any WebAPI into backbone models. Urbini provides seamless persistence to IndexedDB (with a fallback to WebSQL) and automatic sync with the web site via its WebAPI.
