backbone.js - Using Backbone.history to go back

Question

I have inherited a half-finished mobile app built using Backbone.js (which I have never used).

I need, quite simply, to send the user back when they click a back button.

Some brief research leads me to believe it has something to do with Backbone.history but I can't figure out what.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Unless the app uses the fancy-schmancy HTML5 pushState events, I don't see a need for Backbone.History here. Just use window.history.back().
