Add edit buttons to contact template:

    <div class="media-heading">
      <h3>
        <%- name %>
        <small>
          <a href="#contacts/edit/<%- id %>"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil"></span></a>
          <a href="#contacts/delete/<%- id %>" class="delete-contract">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span>
          </a>
        </small>
      </h3>
    </div>

Show ContactForm on #/contacts/edit/1:

  router.on('route:editContact', function(id) {
    var contact = contacts.get(id),
        editContactForm;

    if (contact) {
      editContactForm = new ContactManager.Views.ContactForm({
          model: contact
      });

      $('.main-container').html(editContactForm.render().$el);
    } else {
      router.navigate('contacts', true);
    }
  });

To be consistent pass empty contact model on newContact route:

var newContactForm = new ContactManager.Views.ContactForm({
model: new ContactManager.Models.Contact()
});

Show model's attributes in form:

render: function() {
var html = this.template(_.extend(this.model.toJSON(), {
  isNew: this.model.isNew()
}));
this.$el.append(html);
return this;
},

<h2 class="page-header text-center"><%= isNew ? 'Create' : 'Edit' %> Contact</h2>
...
<input type="text" class="form-control contact-name-input" value="<%- name %>">
...
<input type="email" class="form-control contact-email-input" value="<%- email %>">
...
<input type="tel" class="form-control contact-tel-input" value="<%- tel %>">

Update contact on form:submitted:

editContactForm.on('form:submitted', function(attrs) {
contact.set(attrs);
router.navigate('contacts', true);
});

Step 8 - Add new contact

Add new contact button under contacts list:

  <script type="text/template" id="tpl-contacts">
    <h2 class="page-header text-center">List of contacts</h2>
    <p class="text-center">
      <a href="#contacts/new" class="btn btn-lg btn-outline">Add Contact</a>
    </p>
    <ul class="media-list row contacts-container"></ul>
  </script>

Add Contact Form view and template
js/views/contactForm.js

ContactManager.Views.ContactForm = Backbone.View.extend({
template: _.template($('#tpl-new-contact').html()),
render: function() {
  var html = this.template();
  this.$el.append(html);
  return this;
}
});

index.html:

  <script src="app/js/views/contactForm.js"></script>

template:

  <script type="text/template" id="tpl-new-contact">
    <h2 class="page-header text-center">Create Contact</h2>
    <form role="form" class="form-horizontal contract-form">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-sm-4 control-label">Full name:</label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          <input type="text" class="form-control contact-name-input">
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-sm-4 control-label">Email address:</label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          <input type="email" class="form-control contact-email-input">
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-sm-4 control-label">Telephone number:</label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          <input type="tel" class="form-control contact-tel-input">
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-sm-offset-4 col-sm-3">
          <button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline btn-lg btn-block">Submit</button>
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm-3">
          <a href="#contacts" class="btn btn-outline btn-lg btn-block">Cancel</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </form>
  </script>

Render ContactForm view on #/contacts/new route:

  router.on('route:newContact', function() {
    var newContactForm = new ContactManager.Views.ContactForm();

    $('.main-container').html(newContactForm.render().$el);
  });

Listen to form submit and trigger event with form's data:

events: {
  'submit .contract-form': 'onFormSubmit'
},

/* ... */

onFormSubmit: function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();

  this.trigger('form:submitted', {
    name: this.$('.contact-name-input').val(),
    tel: this.$('.contact-tel-input').val(),
    email: this.$('.contact-email-input').val()
  });
}

Create new Contact on form submitted:

  router.on('route:newContact', function() {
    var newContactForm = new ContactManager.Views.ContactForm();

    newContactForm.on('form:submitted', function(attrs) {
      attrs.id = contacts.isEmpty() ? 1 : (_.max(contacts.pluck('id')) + 1);
      contacts.add(attrs);
      router.navigate('contacts', true);
    });

    $('.main-container').html(newContactForm.render().$el);
  });

Step 7 - Delete contact button

Add delete link to contact's template:

    <div class="media-heading">
      <h3>
        <%- name %>
        <small>
          <a href="#contacts/delete/<%- id %>" class="delete-contract">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span>
          </a>
        </small>
      </h3>
    </div>

Add click event handler to contact view and make console log on click:

events: {
  'click .delete-contract': 'onClickDelete'
},

/* ... */

onClickDelete: function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  console.log('Delete');
}

Delete contact from collection on click:

onClickDelete: function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  this.model.collection.remove(this.model);
}

Remove view on model remove:

initialize: function() {
  this.listenTo(this.model, 'remove', this.remove);
},

Step 6 - Add Router

Create js/router.js file with our router:

ContactManager.Router = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
  '': 'home',
  'contacts': 'showContacts',
  'contacts/new': 'newContact',
  'contacts/edit/:id': 'editContact'
}
});

and in index.html:

  <script src="app/js/router.js"></script>

Instantiate router in app start method and start backbone history:

  var router = new ContactManager.Router();

  router.on('route:home', function() {
    console.log('Home');
  });

  router.on('route:showContacts', function() {
    console.log('Show contacts');
  });

  router.on('route:newContact', function() {
    console.log('New contact');
  });

  router.on('route:editContact', function(id) {
    console.log('Edit contact');
  });

  Backbone.history.start();

Redirect from home to contacts using router.navigate():

  router.on('route:home', function() {
    router.navigate('contacts', {
      trigger: true,
      replace: true
    });
  });

Show contacts only on contacts path:

router.on('route:showContacts', function() {
  var contactsView = new ContactManager.Views.Contacts({
    collection: contacts
  });

  $('.main-container').html(contactsView.render().$el);
});

Step 5 - Render All Conracts

Create start method in app.js

start: function() {
  console.log('Contact Manager started!');
}

Add application initialization block in index.html:

<script>
  $(function() {
    ContactManager.start();
  });
</script>

Check in DevTools

Pass bootstrapping data to start method:

  <script>
    $(function() {
      ContactManager.start({
        contacts: [
          {
            id: 1,
            name : 'Terrence S. Hatfield',
            tel: '651-603-1723',
            email: 'TerrenceSHatfield@rhyta.com'
          },
          {
            id: 2,
            name : 'Chris M. Manning',
            tel: '513-307-5859',
            email: 'ChrisMManning@dayrep.com'
          },
          {
            id: 3,
            name : 'Ricky M. Digiacomo',
            tel: '918-774-0199',
            email: 'RickyMDigiacomo@teleworm.us'
          },
          {
            id: 4,
            name : 'Michael K. Bayne',
            tel: '702-989-5145',
            email: 'MichaelKBayne@rhyta.com'
          },
          {
            id: 5,
            name : 'John I. Wilson',
            tel: '318-292-6700',
            email: 'JohnIWilson@dayrep.com'
          },
          {
            id: 6,
            name : 'Rodolfo P. Robinett',
            tel: '803-557-9815',
            email: 'RodolfoPRobinett@jourrapide.com'
          }
        ]
      });
    });
  </script>

Create contacts model from passed data in show method and check in DevTolls

Create simple contacts view (views/contacts.js):

ContactManager.Views.Contacts = Backbone.View.extend({
  template: _.template($('#tpl-contacts').html()),

  render: function() {
    var html = this.template();
    this.$el.html(html);
    return this;
  }
});

and add template to index.html:

<script type="text/template" id="tpl-contacts">
  <h2 class="page-header text-center">List of contacts</h2>
  <ul class="media-list row contacts-container"></ul>
</script>

and

  <script src="app/js/views/contacts.js"></script>

Add class to main container and render contacts view to it on app start:

in index.html:

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-12 main-container">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

in js/app.js:

  var contactsView = new ContactManager.Views.Contacts({
    collection: contacts
  });

  $('.main-container').html(contactsView.render().$el);

Add template for Contact View:
in index.html:

<script type="text/template" id="tpl-contact">
  <div class="thumbnail">
    <img class="media-object" src="app/img/faces/<%- avatar %>">
  </div>
  <div class="media-heading">
    <h3>
      <%- name %>
    </h3>
  </div>
  <div class="media-body">
    <dl>
      <dt>Phone Number:</dt>
      <dd><%- tel %></dd>
      <dt>Email:</dt>
      <dd><%- email %></dd>
    </dl>
  </div>
  <hr>
</script>

and js/views/contact.js:

ContactManager.Views.Contact = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'li',
className: 'media col-md-6 col-lg-4',
template: _.template($('#tpl-contact').html()),

render: function() {
  var html = this.template(this.model.toJSON());
  this.$el.append(html);
  return this;
}
});

Render each contact in Contacts view:

ContactManager.Views.Contacts = Backbone.View.extend({
template: _.template($('#tpl-contacts').html()),

renderOne: function(contact) {
  var itemView = new ContactManager.Views.Contact({model: contact});
  this.$('.contacts-container').append(itemView.render().$el);
},

render: function() {
  var html = this.template();
  this.$el.html(html);

  this.collection.each(this.renderOne, this);

  return this;
}
});

Add collections/contacts.js with collection:

ContactManager.Collections.Contacts = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: ContactManager.Models.Contact
});

and to index.html:

<script src="app/js/collections/contacts.js"></script>

Create collections with few models in DevTools and show some methods

var contacts = new ContactManager.Collections.Contacts([
{
  id: 1,
  name : 'Terrence S. Hatfield',
  tel: '651-603-1723',
  email: 'TerrenceSHatfield@rhyta.com'
