>> So you never expose your models at all to your components?
Yes, I don't expose models to the components. I'm trying this on a side project. We are still using plain Backbone in production. So, I don't have experience with large scale React apps.
>> What other benefits could Backbone models have?
It also features like validation and other stuff like nested models built by the community.
>> How do you expose your models to the view, I would guess you just serialise into regular objects?
Apart from dirty-check for POST/PUT and uniqueness/sorting what other benefits could Backbone models have?
How do you expose your models to the view, I would guess you just serialise into regular objects?
