Passing parameters into the Backbone events object of a backbone view

Question

I have the following events for a Backbone View. Its a product view - with three tabs (\"All\", \"Top 3\", \"Top 5\")

Can I somehow pass a parameter into the method

Answer 1

You could put the extra argument in a data attribute on the clickable item instead; something like this:

And then topProducts can figure it out itself:

topProducts: function(ev) {
    var pancakes = $(ev.currentTarget).data('pancakes');
    // And continue on as though we were called as topProducts(pancakes)
    // ...
}
