Backbone View: Inherit and extend events from parent

Question

Backbone\'s documentation states:

The events property may also be defined as a function that returns an events hash, to make it easier to programmatic

Answer 1

The soldier.moth answer is a good one. Simplifying it further you could just do the following

var ChildView = ParentView.extend({
   initialize: function(){
       _.extend(this.events, ParentView.prototype.events);
   }
});

Then just define your events in either class in the typical way.
