I'm trying to use backbone-relational (https://github.com/PaulUithol/Backbone-relational) with backbone-couchdb.js. I want to use backbone-couchdb.js's ability to automatically save model object changes to the database, but it does not work when I combine backbone-couchdb.js with backbone-relational.js. I think that somehow one is overwriting the other's changes to Backbone.Model. So I tried the following:
on each model object updates it in the browser when it changes on the server, and setting
initialize: function(){
// Make models save themselves immediately when their attributes change
Backbone.RelationalModel.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
this.on("change", function (model, options) {
if (options && options.save === false) return;
model.save();
});
},
on each model object saves it to the database when it changes in the browser.
I'm still working on figuring out the best way to integrate backbone-relational with backbone-couchdb, but what works for me for now is that in backbone-couchdb.coffee, I replace Backbone.Model with Backbone.RelationalModel, then compile backbone-couchdb.coffee to backbone-couchdb.js, and use my new modified version. Then I load backbone-relational.js first, and backbone-couchdb.js second (using the shim config in RequireJS, so backbone-couchdb.js exports "Backbone" and I require backbone-couchdb.js to get Backbone into my modules). I'd prefer to monkey-patch backbone-couchdb.js in RequireJS's shim config, or rewrite both to be able to be compatible with each other, but haven't figured out how to do that yet.

But the model objects still don't automatically save to the database.
Is there another way to get backbone-couchdb.js's automatic saving to work again?
