JavascriptMVC: how do I invoke the Controller's history methods?

JMVC has a History plugin that lets you interact the URL's hash fragment. For example, you can change the #hash part of the URL to make certain actions inside y开发者_StackOverflow社区our app bookmarkable, and allow people to navigate using the browser's back button.

Unfortunately, I'm not having much luck using it.

The following code creates a JMVC controller that tries to set the browser URL to something like example.com/myApp#controller/someController. However, nothing happens because the redirectTo() method that the History plugin says it defines, is undefined. I've also tried History.redirectTo().

steal.plugins("jquery/controller/history");
$.Controller.extend('MyControllerWithHistory', {}
{
'.item click': function( el ){
   redirectTo({controller:'someController'});
}
});

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Have you tried this.redirectTo():

steal.plugins("jquery/controller/history");
$.Controller.extend('MyControllerWithHistory', {},
{
'.item click': function( el ){
    this.redirectTo({controller:'someController'});
}
});

By including the history plugin you are adding methods such as redirectTo to $.Controller.
