In this article, we will see the Backbone.js hasChanged() model. The hasChanged() model checks if the model is changed or not, i.e. it will return a boolean value as true if the value is changed, otherwise returns a false value, since its last set, in order to set that value for an attribute in the model.
Syntax:
Backbone.Model.hasChanged(attribute);
Parameter Value:
- attribute: This parameter specifies the property of the model.
Example 1: In this example, we will update the value of a model and check using the hasChanged() model.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html > < head > type = "text/javascript" > </ script > < script src = type = "text/javascript" > </ script > < script src = type = "text/javascript" > </ script > </ head > < body > < script type = "text/javascript" > var Books = Backbone.Model.extend(); var book = new Books({ book_name: "css" }); document.write('Actual Values: ' + JSON.stringify(book)); document.write("< br >"); document.write('Actual Value Changed ?: ' + book.hasChanged()); book.set('book_name', 'php'); document.write("< br >"); document.write("< br >"); document.write('Changed Values: ' + JSON.stringify(book)); document.write("< br >"); document.write('Actual Value Changed ?: ' + book.hasChanged()); </ script > </ body > </ html > |
Output:
Actual Values: {"book_name":"css"} Actual Value Changed ?: false Changed Values: {"book_name":"php"} Actual Value Changed ?: true
Example 2: In this example, we will update the value of an empty model and check using the hasChanged() model.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html > < head > type = "text/javascript" > </ script > < script src = type = "text/javascript" > </ script > < script src = type = "text/javascript" > </ script > </ head > < body > < script type = "text/javascript" > var Books = Backbone.Model.extend(); var book = new Books({}); document.write('Actual Values: ' + JSON.stringify(book)); document.write("< br >"); document.write('Actual Value Changed ?: ' + book.hasChanged()); book.set('book_name', 'php'); document.write("< br >"); document.write("< br >"); document.write('Changed Values: ' + JSON.stringify(book)); document.write("< br >"); document.write('Actual Value Changed ?: ' + book.hasChanged()); </ script > </ body > </ html > |
Output:
Actual Values: {} Actual Value Changed ?: false Changed Values: {"book_name":"php"} Actual Value Changed ?: true
