Using your fixtures in sc-build
Alright, so you read through the datastore tutorial, it told you all about fixtures, and that it was a stop gap for hooking up to a real data source. It even gave you a neat shortcut to fall back on fixtures.
// in main.js:
MyApp.main = function() {
// switch to fixtures if #fixtures in URL
if (window.location.hash.toString().match(‘fixtures’)) {
MyApp.store.from(SC.Record.fixtures);
}
…
}
But! It forgot to tell you how to use fixtures when you don’t have a backend setup yet, but still need to deploy somewhere for demo purposes!
Buildfile to the rescue! Add “:load_fixtures => true” into your buildfile & deploy, voila! Fixture data on the live server.
config :all, :required => :sproutcore, :load_fixtures => true
