Still learning backbone so bear with me;
I'm trying to add a new model with blank fields to a view, but the template I've created has a whole bunch of
<input value="<%= some_value %>" type="whatever" />
Works perfectly fine when fetching data, it populates it and all goes well. The trouble arises when I want to create a new (blank) rendered view, it gives me
Uncaught ReferenceError: some_value is not defined
I can set defaults
(I do already for a few that have default values in the db) but that means typing out over 40 of them with blanks; is there a better way of handling this?
I'm fiddling around with the underscore template itself, trying something like <%= if(some_value != undefined){ some_value } %>
but that also seems a bit cumbersome.
