Grouping? #19

Closed fluxsaas closed 10 years ago

fluxsaas commented 10 years ago

Hey,

i just came across the task of grouping models. Would that make sense to use a proxy for that?

i implement that by creating a new grouped collection and wrapping the collection in a new proxy. but i loose the referenz to the original proxy and can't "reset" the original state.

There was a previous issue opened about grouping here: https://github.com/jmorrell/backbone.obscura/issues/10 with some discussion. Ultimately I decided not to add it to Obscura since it adds a lot of complexity, but it would make a good use-case for a separate library. I sketched out an API in that thread and have the skeleton of the library here: https://github.com/jmorrell/backbone-grouped-collection but don't have the time / interest to finish it up at the moment.

If you're interested in working on it, I'd be happy to review your code and help write docs.
