backbone.historyEvents

Extra events for the Backbone History module.

This simply adds a couple of events to the Backbone.history module, allowing you to respond to things like missing routes and changes to the URL (even when a route is not triggered)

Install

npm install backbone-history-events --save

bower install backbone-history-events --save

Example

Backbone.history.on('navigated', function(fragment, options, routeTriggered){
  console.log('Navigated to ', fragment, '. Triggered router:', routeTriggered, ' with options ', options );
});

Backbone.history.navigate('/myRoute', {trigger:true});
// Naivagted to  /myRoute . Triggered router: true  with options  Object {trigger: true}

Backbone.history.on('routeNotFound', function(fragment){
  console.log('Page Not found ', fragment);
});

Backbone.history.navigate('/nonExistentRoute', {trigger:true});
// Page Not found nonExistentRoute

Backbone.history.navigate('/nonExistentRoute');
// Handler is not triggered as nothing tried to load a route (no trigger)
