IBM Worklight 6.1 - How to integrate worklight adapter with backbone view?

Question

I'm using IBM Worklight 6.1 and backbone.js for my mobile app project. My question is, how to integrate Worklight adapter with backbone view?

Worklight adapter

Username.xml

<wl:adapter name="Username"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:wl="http://www.worklight.com/integration"
    xmlns:http="http://www.worklight.com/integration/http">

    <displayName>Username</displayName>
    <description>Username</description>
    <connectivity>
        <connectionPolicy xsi:type="http:HTTPConnectionPolicyType">
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <domain>example.com</domain>
            <port>9081</port>           
        </connectionPolicy>
        <loadConstraints maxConcurrentConnectionsPerNode="2" />
    </connectivity>

    <procedure name="getUsername"> </procedure>
    
</wl:adapter>

Username-impl.js

function getUsername(userAlias,locale) {
    path = "rest-rib/service/Login/login_username?userAlias=" + userAlias + "&locale=" + locale;
    
    var input = {
        method : 'post',
        returnedContentType : 'json',
        path : path
    };
    
    
    return WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
}

BackboneView

HomeView.js

define(['jquery', 'underscore', 'backbone', 'text!modules/home/homeViewTemplate.html'], function($, _, Backbone, homeViewTemplate) {
    var HomeView = Backbone.View.extend({
        initialize: function() {
            this.$el.off();
        },
        render: function() {
            this.$el.html(homeViewTemplate);
        },
    });
    return HomeView;
});

Not sure about an adapter, but you can take a look at this blog post and video, describing how to build MVC applications with IBM Worklight and backbone.js.

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/worklight/entry/building_mvc_applications_with_ibm_worklight_and_backbone_js?lang=en

The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to create a MVC application with IBM Worklight and backbone.js.

Note that solid knowledge of both Worklight and Backbone.js is recommended for a maximum result.

We will create a simple application that will retrieve RSS feed from Worklight adapter and display it on a screen. Clicking on a feed item will popup feed description in alert box.
