WordPress uses BackboneJS and Underscores in the admin panel. Though codex has a rich set of documentation on different WordPress topics, it lacks instructions of using these BackboneJS models in your code. So here’s a small snippet which shows you how to fetch an attachment from your WordPress blog using these models

First of all, you will have to enqueue media scripts via wp_enqueue_scripts or admin_enqueue_scripts hook. This will load all the necessary media js scripts needed for this task.

[sourcecode language=”php”]
wp_enqueue_media();
[/sourcecode]

And then, from your front end code you can access the attachments like this
