Solved! Special thanks to @Japh and John Blackbourne for figuring out where I went wrong 🙂

I’m trying to abstract some strings from a JavaScript file, but I can’t get it to work. I’m hoping some kind soul somewhere out there on the interwebz can tell me what stupidly obvious thing I am missing.

The code is buried in something which is manipulating a Backbone.js script. No matter what I do, I can’t use a variable with the “routes” section and am not sure how to work around that. You can see an example with the “blabla” variable below:

var blabla = 'boober';
 
// Sets up the routes events for relevant url queries
themes.Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
 
	routes: {
		blabla: 'this should be a boober',
		'test': 'test',
		'another-test': 'yes it is a test'
	},

Any ideas on how this works and how I can go about working around it?

I don’t really understand the syntax used there, which is probably not helping my understanding of it :/

Big thanks to anyone who is able to assist me in figuring this out 🙂

I’m confused as to what the benefit is in having two places to do the same thing is.

I’m fat and out of shape. This is what I end up looking like when I attempt to get rid of the lard by doing an evening run.

Those gods you name, are mere false idols. The real gods will strike down thee with furious vengeance and anger. Thy kingdom come; Thy pasta will be done; as it is at Dominoes. Amen.
