Calling a jQuery plugin in a Backbone render method

Question

I have a render method in Backbone that goes basically like this:

render: function () {
  $.tmpl(this.template, attrs).appendTo(this.el);
  return this;
},
         


        

Answer 1

Beter do it this way:

action: function () {
    var container = $('#container');

    container.empty();
    myView.render(container);
},

render: function (container) {
    $(this.el)
        .append($.tmpl(this.template, attrs))
        .appendTo(container);
    $('label', this.el).inFieldLabels();
    return this;
},
