Slickback is a javascript library that adapts Backbone collections to work with SlickGrid, a jQuery-backed datagrid. Extensions include support for paginating collections, composing filtered queries using an interface modeled after Ruby on Rails ActiveRecord's "named scopes", and displaying precision numerical data. This page embeds an example using a simulated datasource that supports pagination and sorting. A suite of browser-based unit tests can be run here.
Slickback, like Backbone and SlickGrid, is released under the MIT license. Source code, documentation and issue tracking is hosted at github. Slickback is also available as an npm module for use with node-js.
