Backbone.js Sync emulateHTTP

Backbone.js is a compact library used to organize JavaScript code. Another name for it is an MVC/MV* framework. If you’re not familiar with MVC, it’s essentially a method for creating user interfaces. JavaScript functions make it much simpler to create a program’s user interface. Models, views, events, routers, and collections are among the building blocks offered by BackboneJS to help developers create client-side web applications.

Sync’s emulateHTTP is primarily used when the web server doesn’t support the default Backbone.js’s REST/HTTP approach. This is mainly useful in the case of using a legacy web server where you can keep the Backbone.emulateHTTP to true. The function of this method is to fake the basic HTTP requests like PUT, PATCH, and DELETE with a POST.

Syntax:

Backbone.emulateHTTP=true

Example 1: The code below demonstrates the status of the Model in the FETCH and SAVE requests.
