Sub Class a Backbone.View Sub Class & retain events

Question

I have a generic subclass of Backbone.View which has a close event listener.

var GenericView = Backbone.View.extend({

    events          


        

Answer 1

Another option is to have a BaseView that overrides the implementation of Extend. Such as:

var BaseView = Backbone.View.extend({
        //base view functionality if needed
    });
BaseView.extend = function(child){
    var view = Backbone.View.extend.apply(this, arguments);
    view.prototype.events = _.extend({}, this.prototype.events, child.events);
    return view;
};

This will automatically extend all of your events for anything that inherits from the BaseView.
