Make Backbone Real-Time With PubNub
Blog post from PubNub
Backbone.js is a widely-used JavaScript framework that facilitates the creation of interactive applications with seamless data binding to back-end servers, and its integration with PubNub enhances real-time data synchronization across client instances, improving user experiences in collaborative and multi-user interfaces. By leveraging PubNub, developers can ensure that any changes to Backbone models or collections are propagated in real-time without users needing to refresh their applications, providing a more dynamic interaction model. The integration involves setting up a PubNub account, obtaining unique keys, and incorporating the PubNub library to enable collections to automatically update and synchronize data across clients. This setup allows developers to implement business logic in various locations and enhances the extensibility of applications, making real-time data handling more efficient and effective.
