Project Roadmap #5

Open datiecher opened 11 years ago

Hey Derick!

Can you give us a roadmap for this project? Also, do you plan to add Marionette in any way to the mix, as well?

My team is currently researching a UI library to be used along a new PHP based REST API and Kendo is currently at the top of our list.

And because we have already some experience using Backbone and Marionette, being able to mix everything together in a nice and cohesive way would really rock!

awesome :)

The first thing on my list is to finish the DataSource adapter so that it properly transports data between the Kendo UI DataSource and the Backbone.Collection, both directions.

Beyond that, I have an experiment I've been doing with Kendo UI Mobile and Backbone.View, but it may not be ready for any kind of public viewing for a while.

What integration points are you looking for? Have you had a chance to work with Kendo UI at all, and try mixing it in to Backbone? I'd love to hear about the things you run in to that need to be solved. Building real-world applications is always the best way to find out what integration points need to be created. :)

Great to hear it!

We are only researching UI frameworks at the moment but in the following weeks we will be picking the best contenders in order to create a simple app from the ground up with them. Then we will have a better evaluation in the Real World (tm).

Beyond Backbone.View, what about Marionette?

mxriverlynn commented 11 years ago

Most of what Marionette will need for integration will be handled by the Backbone.View integration, since Marionette's views directly extend from there. If we run in to any specific scenarios for Marionette, we can address them, of course - but I don't really expect to find any unique problems there.
