Backbone.js event after view.render() is finished

Question

Does anyone know which event is fired after a view is rendered in backbone.js?

Answer 1

Or you can do the following, which is what Backbone code is supposed to look like (Observer pattern, aka pub/sub). This is the way to go:

var myView = Backbone.View.extend({ 
    initialize: function() {  
        this.on('render', this.afterRender);

        this.render();
    },

    render: function () {  
        this.trigger('render');
    },

    afterRender: function () {
    }
});

Edit: this.on('render', 'afterRender'); will not work - because Backbone.Events.on accepts only functions. The .on('event', 'methodName'); magic is made possible by Backbone.View.delegateEvents and as such is only available with DOM events.
