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

This CoffeeScript solution worked for me (and takes into account @soldier.moth's suggestion):

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

class ChildView extends ParentView
  events: ->
    _.extend({}, _.result(ParentView.prototype, 'events') || {},
      'bar' : 'doOtherThing')
