In my backbone.Marionette application I have a Model that requires an Id attribute to construct it\'s url. I therefore create the model by passing it an Id, add it to a view
model = new Model({_id:id})
var fetched = model.fetch();
// wait for the model to be fetched
$.when(fetched).then(function(){
view = new View({model:model})
app.content.show(view)
});
