Integrating Backbone with jQuery UI Autocomplete to Provide Search Functionality


View Blog   View Source  
A simple test on how to integrate a jQuery UI Autocomplete widget search into a Backbone based app. This search is against the RottenTomatoes movie database using their API. Search and select a movie to load its detail. The goal was to decide how to best leverage Backbone's collections and models to perform a lookup against a reduced set of attributes and then load the remaining detail on the selected model using two different API methods.
