This example demonstrates how to replace Backbone’s default AJAX implementation with the browser’s native `fetch` API. It defines a `Backbone.ajax` override that handles GET parameter serialization, sets JSON headers, and chains promise-based responses through status checking and JSON parsing. The code uses `Backbone.ajax`, `fetch`, `Response.status`, and `Response.json()` to connect Backbone model and collection calls directly to modern fetch promises.

Gist 7233762

This example shows a JavaScript application skeleton converted to use AJAX, with the updated files provided as a gist. The code demonstrates an asynchronous data-loading pattern, fetching external resources via `XMLHttpRequest` or a similar AJAX mechanism. It relies on standard browser APIs for handling responses and updating the page content dynamically. The visualization aspect is minimal, focusing instead on the structural change from a static app to one that retrieves data on demand. The author lists the modified files and includes instructions for downloading the original skeleton, making the gist a practical exercise in refactoring for asynchronous behavior.

Gist 3041892

This example shows a minimal Spine.js application that fetches and manages a list of assets from a remote JSON endpoint. The page loads asset records via `Asset.fetch()`, which uses Spine’s AJAX module to retrieve data from the GitHub-hosted gist URL, and binds the model to the `Asset` class. The HTML body is empty, so the visualization itself is not rendered; the code demonstrates the data-loading and model-setup pattern rather than presenting any visual output. It relies on jQuery for AJAX requests and Spine’s `Model.setup` and `Model.Ajax` extensions.

Simple Backbone WordPress Example

This example demonstrates a simple Backbone.js application that fetches and displays WordPress blog posts as a list. It shows how a collection retrieves data from the WordPress REST API endpoint and renders each post’s title, date, and content into a templated view. The code uses Backbone.Model, Backbone.Collection, and Backbone.View, along with Underscore.js templating and jQuery for DOM manipulation. The collection’s `parse` method extracts post fields from the API response, and the view’s `render` method appends each post as a list item.

Gist 7232670

This example demonstrates how a single-page application skeleton is transformed from a static document into an interactive, AJAX-driven experience. The visualization shows a list of user-submitted code entries, with each entry dynamically loaded and rendered without a full page refresh. The implementation uses jQuery’s `$.ajax` method to fetch the `lucky_ajax.md` file and other resources, then updates the DOM with the retrieved content. The code also relies on JavaScript’s `Promise` API for handling asynchronous responses, and highlights the use of `XMLHttpRequest` for network communication. The data source is the downloaded application skeleton, whose structure is revealed through the fetched files. The example focuses on the interaction between client-side scripting and server responses.

ba 401 Data loading Data

This example demonstrates a minimal data-loading workflow using the browser’s native Fetch API to retrieve a remote dataset from a GitHub Gist. The page consists of a single HTML file with inline JavaScript that calls `fetch(url)` and logs the resulting Promise to the console. No rendering, styling, or data processing occurs; the example solely illustrates the first step of asynchronously fetching external resources in a plain HTML/JavaScript context, without any additional libraries or frameworks.

fetching data

This example shows a bare-bones HTML page that fetches data from a remote URL. It demonstrates the basic Fetch API workflow in JavaScript, where a `fetch()` call is made to a GitHub Gist URL and a promise is created to handle the response. The page includes a static "Hello HTML!" message and sets up the foundation for asynchronous data loading, though the response handling is incomplete. The example uses plain HTML, CSS for styling, and JavaScript's built-in `fetch()` function, with no external libraries or visualization components yet.

Early Stage Fetching

This example demonstrates early-stage data fetching with the browser’s native Fetch API, loading a CSV file of CSS named colors from a GitHub gist. It shows two asynchronous techniques: a standard promise chain using `fetch().then()` and `response.text()`, and an `async`/`await` pattern within a custom `myFetcher` function. Both approaches log the fetched text to the console, highlighting the sequence of network requests before any page content renders. The code uses no external libraries, relying solely on vanilla JavaScript and the Fetch API.

Data Fetcher (Asnyc/Await Promise.Then)

This example demonstrates two techniques for fetching remote data in JavaScript and logging the results to the console. The page uses the Fetch API to retrieve a CSV file of CSS named colors from a GitHub gist, with the data returned as raw text. The code contrasts the use of `async`/`await` syntax within an `async function` against the older `Promise` chaining approach via `.then()` methods. Both methods successfully retrieve the same resource, while a plain `console.log` statement prints a separate message to show the order of execution. The example is implemented as a minimal HTML page inside a React project scaffold.
