Backbone Marionette - Add a visual effect when switching view

Question

Is there a convenient way to add an effect when I leave a page (close a view/layout) and open a new one in the same region ? (something like a fade effect)

Answer 1

You could override the close function on the view, doing something like this:

close: function () {
  // fancy fade-out effects
  Backbone.Marionette.View.prototype.close.apply(this, arguments);
}

And do something similar with your render functions.
