When is the right time to retrieve a collection in Backbone js?

So, I'm working on a basic application and trying to modulate everything as much as I can using require.js. This was my guide.

I'm having trouble getting my submission in order to always get my collection. If I access my application from the base url ( myapp.com/) and navigate to the route of my view, the collection will be retrieved. If I do not go to the viewing and instead access it from myapp.com/#/campaigns, then the collection will not be received.

Here is the code.

router.js

    define([
  'jQuery',
  'Underscore',
  'Backbone',
  'views/home/main',
  'views/campaigns/list'
], function($, _, Backbone, mainHomeView, campaignListView ){
  var AppRouter = Backbone.Router.extend({
    routes: {
      // Define some URL routes
      'campaigns': 'showCampaigns',

      // Default
      '*actions': 'defaultAction'
    },
    showCampaigns: function(){
      campaignListView.render();
    },
    defaultAction: function(actions){
      // We have no matching route, lets display the home page 
      //mainHomeView.render(); 
    }
  });

  var initialize = function(){
    var app_router = new AppRouter;
    Backbone.history.start();
  };
  return { 
    initialize: initialize
  };
});

collections /campaigns.js

    define([
  'jQuery',
  'Underscore',
  'Backbone',
  'models/campaigns'
], function($, _, Backbone, campaignsModel){
  var campaignsCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
    model: campaignsModel,
    url: '/campaigns',
    initialize: function(){
    }

  });
  return new campaignsCollection;
});

view / campaigns / list.js

define([
  'jQuery',
  'Underscore',
  'Backbone',
  'collections/campaigns'
  ], function($, _, Backbone, campaignsCollection){
      var campaignListView = Backbone.View.extend({
        el:$('#container'),
        initialize:function(){
          this.collection = campaignsCollection;
          this.collection.fetch();
        },
        render: function(){
          var data = {
            campaigns: this.collection,
            _: _
          };
          $('#container').html('Campaigns length: '+data.campaigns.models.length);
        }
      });
      return new campaignListView;
  });

, campaignListView . render, , initialize ListView, url .

:

1. , campaignListView :

// in your router code
showCampaigns: function(){
    var campaignListViewInstance = new campaignListView(); // don't forget the brackets after your initialize function
    campaignListViewInstance.render();
},

// in your campaignListView code :
return campaignListView; // without "new"

, .

2.

// in your campaignListView code :
initialize:function(){
    this.collection = campaignsCollection;
},
render: function(){
    this.collection.fetch({success: function(collection) {
        var data = {
            campaigns: collection,
            _: _
        };
        $('#container').html('Campaigns length: '+data.campaigns.models.length);
    }); // this will be fetched everytime you render and also it has success callback
}

,

return new campaignListView; --> return new campaignListView();
return new campaignsCollection; --> return new campaignsCollection();

, , - fetch. , , fetch , , fetch.
