Adapt Learning Community: getting data into a component

hi all,

i have a php page that:

// Print it out as JSON
echo json_encode($newArray);

so i get nicely formatted json data which i can turn into a collection that i can do things with... but how can i get this data into the component? i don't know what other plugins to look at for ideas and i don't know what search terms to google. can someone point me into the right direction?

thanks

Aaron,

The framework core has grunt commands to import and export translatable text. Perhaps this might be a path to explore? Look at the grunt tasks in this folder in the framework repo: adapt_framework/grunt/tasks/translate

These tasks were developed to support the multi-language feature of Adapt. Thomas Berger would be a sensible contact if you want/need insight into them. Find him in the main gitter rooms as lc-thomasberger.

thanks chuck, but i already found my answer. it was right there in the backbone documentation the whole time, under fetch. so i tried calling a function during the component's postRender which does this:

var jsondata;
jsondata = new Backbone.Collection;
jsondata.url = 'http://someSite.com/someFolder/someData.php';
jsondata.fetch({
success: function(collection, response, options) {
console.log("success");
console.log(response);
},
error: function (collection, response, options) {
console.log("error");
console.log(response);
}
});

and the console logged all the data from the php echo without any errors! on to the next step...

:)
