## Our main loop - on document ready

    jQuery(function($) {
      var $el = $('.search-here');

¶

### Overview

We have a slightly more complex setup than is needed to allow for using this demo with different backends

There are 2 alternatives: more complex and a simpler one

If you just want to see how this work skip to the simple case ...

¶

### 1. More complex - use data from a backend configured in query string

¶

Check for config from url query string

      var config = recline.View.parseQueryString(decodeURIComponent(window.location.search));
      if (config.backend) {

¶

If we had it hand off to our more complex example setup

        setupMoreComplexExample(config);
        return;
      }

¶

### 2. The simple example case

We will just set up from some example local data (at the bottom of thile file)

¶

#### Create our Recline Dataset from sample local data

      var dataset = new recline.Model.Dataset({
        records: sampleData
      });

¶

#### Custom template

Create a custom template for rendering the records

      var template = ' \
        <div class="record"> \
          <h3> \
            {{title}} <em>by {{Author}}</em> \
          </h3> \
          <p>{{description}}</p> \
          <p><code>${{price}}</code></p> \
        </div> \
      ';

¶

#### Set up the search View (using custom template)

      var searchView = new SearchView({
        el: $el,
        model: dataset,
        template: template
      });
      searchView.render();

¶

#### Optional - we configure the initial query a bit and set up facets

      dataset.queryState.set({
          size: 10
        },
        {silent: true}
      );
      dataset.queryState.addFacet('Author');

¶

#### Finally - now do the first query

After this point the Search View will take over handling queries!

      dataset.query();
    });

¶

## Simple Search View

This is a simple bespoke Backbone view for the Search. It Pulls together various Recline UI components and the central Dataset and Query (state) object

It also provides simple support for customization e.g. of template for list of results

     var view = new SearchView({
       el: $('some-element'),
       model: dataset
       // EITHER a mustache template (passed a JSON version of recline.Model.Record
       // OR a function which receives a record in JSON form and returns html
       template: mustache-template-or-function
     });

    var SearchView = Backbone.View.extend({
      initialize: function(options) {
        this.el = $(this.el);
        _.bindAll(this, 'render');
        this.recordTemplate = options.template;

¶

Every time we do a search the recline.Dataset.records Backbone collection will get reset. We want to re-render each time!

        this.model.records.bind('reset', this.render);
        this.templateResults = options.template;
      },

¶

overall template for this view

      template: ' \
        <div class="controls"> \
          <div class="query-here"></div> \
        </div> \
        <div class="total"><h2><span></span> records found</h2></div> \
        <div class="body"> \
          <div class="sidebar"></div> \
          <div class="results"> \
            {{{results}}} \
          </div> \
        </div> \
        <div class="pager-here"></div> \
      ',

¶

render the view

      render: function() {
        var results = '';
        if (_.isFunction(this.templateResults)) {
          var results = _.map(this.model.records.toJSON(), this.templateResults).join('\n');
        } else {

¶

templateResults is just for one result ...

          var tmpl = '{{#records}}' + this.templateResults + '{{/records}}';
          var results = Mustache.render(tmpl, {
            records: this.model.records.toJSON()
          });
        }
        var html = Mustache.render(this.template, {
          results: results
        });
        this.el.html(html);

¶

Set the total records found info

        this.el.find('.total span').text(this.model.recordCount);

¶

### Now setup all the extra mini-widgets

Facets, Pager, QueryEditor etc

        var view = new recline.View.FacetViewer({
          model: this.model
        });
        view.render();
        this.el.find('.sidebar').append(view.el);

        var pager = new recline.View.Pager({
          model: this.model.queryState
        });
        this.el.find('.pager-here').append(pager.el);

        var queryEditor = new recline.View.QueryEditor({
          model: this.model.queryState
        });
        this.el.find('.query-here').append(queryEditor.el);
      }
    });

¶

## Custom code very specific to this demo

¶

e.g. to provide custom templates for the google doc and openspending examples

¶

### Handle case where we get data from a specific backend

Includes providing custom templates

    function setupMoreComplexExample(config) {
      var $el = $('.search-here');
      var dataset = new recline.Model.Dataset(config);

¶

async as may be fetching remote

      dataset.fetch().done(function() {
        var template = templates[dataset.get('url')] || templates['generic'];
        var searchView = new SearchView({
          el: $el,
          model: dataset,
          template: template
        });
        searchView.render();

        dataset.queryState.set({
            size: 5
          },
          {silent: true}
        );
        if (dataset.get('url') in templates) {

¶

for gdocs example

          dataset.queryState.addFacet('cause');
        }
        dataset.query();
      });
    };

    var templates = {

¶
