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

I like Mr. Shaver's solution, but for something less intrusive:

var ChildView = ParentView.extend({
    events : _.extend({
        "change input": "handleInputChange"
    }, ParentView.prototype.events)
});

Edit: Yes, you have to do this in each child class, but it's useful when only a few children are needed, or when you don't control the parent "class".
