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

If you use CoffeeScript and set a function to events, you can use super.

class ParentView extends Backbone.View
  events: ->
    'foo' : 'doSomething'

class ChildView extends ParentView
  events: ->
    _.extend {}, super,
      'bar' : 'doOtherThing'
