Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?
How did the presence of Models and Collections change the way you thought about your app?
How do Backbone Events compare to DOM events?
How did you approach filtering? What was your data flow for this feature?
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	✅
Comprehension questions	No. You should try to answer these questions.
Organization
Models and collections are defined in separate files	✅
Code that relies on the DOM is located in or called by $(document).ready	✅
Code follows the Backbone data flow (DOM event -> update model or collection -> Backbone event -> update DOM)	Mostly. There is one case where we are doing this: after calling tripList.fetch(); in $(document).ready() we do get an update event which is results in the render. Other than that all of the code to update the DOM is running in handlers for jQuery events.
Functionality
Display list of trips	✅
Display trip details	✅
Register for a trip	No. This is not currently implemented.
Add a trip	No. This is not currently implemented.
Sort trips	No. This is not currently implemented.
General
Snappy visual feedback for user actions	✅
API error handling	No. We're not handling possible API errors when fetching the trip list or details for an individual trip.
Client-side validation	No. This is not implemented because adding trips and reservations is not implemented.
Overall	I really like the design for this site!

We should try to use Backbone's fetch function for models here instead of directly using jQuery's ajax functions.

Before we start filling in the contents of the trip list we should clear it out by calling $('#trip-list').empty();.

This allows the render function to be idempotent, so that if our application has to call it multiple times (such as when adding or removing a trip), it will still do the correct thing.
