tbone.models.ajax

• tbone.models.ajax:

  • Extends tbone.models.async.
  • A special case of async model where the state function calls .url() to build a URL to GET. The url function can query other models to build the URL, enabling ajax models to respond to state transitions by fetching new data.

• model.url: Override this to set either a URL or function that returns a URL to fetch data via XHR. If a function, you can use T-references to make this model re-fetch data on a property change (e.g. applying a filter).

• tbone.isReady(): There are no pending Model/View updates, including ajax models that are waiting for XHRs to finish. This is helpful for automated testing to determine that the page has “settled”.
