backbone.jsHow do I create a view in Backbone.js?
To create a view in Backbone.js, you must define a view class that extends from the Backbone.View class. The view class should have a render()
method, which is responsible for generating HTML for the view. Additionally, the view class should have an events
object, which maps DOM events to view methods.
Example view class:
var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
// Define a render method
render: function() {
// Generate HTML for the view
this.$el.html('<h1>My View</h1>');
return this;
},
// Define an events object
events: {
'click h1': 'onHeadingClick'
},
// Define a view method
onHeadingClick: function() {
console.log('Heading clicked');
}
});
Output example
Heading clicked
when the h1
element is clicked.
