问题
My view, TuneBook, has several child views of type ClosedTune. I also have separate full page views for each tune, OpenTune. The same events are bound within ClosedTune and OpenTune, so I've designed my app so that they both inherit from a shared 'abstract' view Tune.
To make my app more scaleable I would like the events for each ClosedTune to be delegated to TuneBook, but for maintainability I would like the same handlers (the ones stored in Tune) to be used by TuneBook (although they'd obviously need to be wrapped in some function).
The problem I have is, within TuneBook, finding the correct ClosedTune to call the handler on. What's a good way to architect this, or are there other good solutions for delegating events to a parent view?
Note - not a duplicate of Backbone View: Inherit and extend events from parent (which is about children inheriting from a parent class, whereas I'm asking about children which are child nodes of the parent in the DOM)
回答1:
In your parent view (extending also from Backbone.Events), I would bind onEvent to the DOM event. On trigger, it would fire a backbone event including some "id" attribute that your child views know (presumably some row id?).
var TuneBook = Backbone.View.extend(_.extend({}, Backbone.Events, {
events: {
"click .tune .button": "clickHandler"
},
clickHandler: function (ev) {
this.trigger('buttonClick:' + ev.some_id_attr, ev);
},
}));
Child views would then naturally subscribe to the parent views event that concerns them. Below I do it in initialize passing the parent view as well as that special id attribute you used before in options.
var ClosedTune = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function (options) {
options.parent.on('buttonClick:' + options.id, this.handler, this);
},
handler: function (ev) {
...
},
});
You can of course also set up similar subscribers on Tune or OpenTune.

Here are a couple of possibilities.
1. Centralized: store ClosedTune objects in the TuneBook instance
Store a reference to each
ClosedTuneintune_book.tunes. How you populatetune_book.tunesis up to you; since you mentioned an adder method onTuneBook, that's what I've illustrated below.In the
TuneBookevent handler, retrieve theClosedTunefromtune_book.tunesby using something like theidattribute of the event target as the key. Then call theTuneorClosedTunehandler.
http://jsfiddle.net/p5QMT/1/
var Tune = Backbone.View.extend({
className: "tune",
click_handler: function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
console.log(this.id + " clicked");
},
render: function () {
this.$el.html(
'<a href="" class="button">' + this.id + '</a>'
);
return this;
}
});
var ClosedTune = Tune.extend({});
var OpenTune = Tune.extend({
events: {
"click .button" : 'click_handler'
}
});
var TuneBook = Backbone.View.extend({
events: {
"click .tune .button" : 'click_handler'
},
click_handler: function (event) {
var tune = this.options.tunes[
$(event.target).closest(".tune").attr('id')
];
tune.click_handler( event );
},
add_tune: function (tune) {
this.options.tunes[tune.id] = tune;
this.$el.append(tune.render().el);
},
render: function () {
$("body").append(this.el);
return this;
}
});
var tune_book = new TuneBook({
tunes: {}
});
[1, 2, 3].forEach(function (number) {
tune_book.add_tune(new ClosedTune({
id: "closed-tune-" + number
}));
});
tune_book.render();
var open_tune = new OpenTune({
id: "open-tune-1"
});
$("body").append(open_tune.render().el);
2. Decentralized: associate the view object with the DOM object using jQuery.data()
When you create a
ClosedTune, store a reference to it, e.g.this.$el.data('view_object', this).In the event listener, retrieve the
ClosedTune, e.g.$(event.target).data('view_object').
You can use the same exact handler for ClosedTune (in TuneBook) and OpenTune, if you want.
http://jsfiddle.net/jQZNF/1/
var Tune = Backbone.View.extend({
className: "tune",
initialize: function (options) {
this.$el.data('view_object', this);
},
click_handler: function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var tune =
$(event.target).closest(".tune").data('view_object');
console.log(tune.id + " clicked");
},
render: function () {
this.$el.html(
'<a href="" class="button">' + this.id + '</a>'
);
return this;
}
});
var ClosedTune = Tune.extend({
initialize: function (options) {
this.constructor.__super__.initialize.call(this, options);
}
});
var OpenTune = Tune.extend({
events: {
"click .button" : 'click_handler'
}
});
var TuneBook = Backbone.View.extend({
events: {
"click .tune .button": Tune.prototype.click_handler
},
add_tune: function (tune) {
this.$el.append(tune.render().el);
},
render: function () {
$("body").append(this.el);
return this;
}
});
var tune_book = new TuneBook({
tunes: {}
});
[1, 2, 3].forEach(function (number) {
tune_book.add_tune(new ClosedTune({
id: "closed-tune-" + number
}));
});
tune_book.render();
var open_tune = new OpenTune({
id: "open-tune-1"
});
$("body").append(open_tune.render().el);
Response to comment
I considered option 1 but decided against it as I already have a collection of tune models in the tunebook and didn't want another object I'd need to keep in sync
I guess it depends what kind of housekeeping / syncing you feel the need to do, and why.
(e.g. in TuneModel.remove() I would need to remove the view from tunebook's list of views... would probably need events to do this, so an event only solution starts to look more attractive).
Why do you feel that you "need to remove the view from tunebook's list of views"? (I'm not suggesting you shouldn't, just asking why you want to.) Since you do, how do you think @ggozad's approach differs in that respect?
Both techniques store ClosedTune objects in the TuneBook instance. In @ggozad's technique it's just hidden behind an abstraction that perhaps makes it less obvious to you.
In my example they're stored in a plain JS object (tune_book.tunes). In @ggozad's they're stored in the _callbacks structure used by Backbone.Events.
Adding a ClosedTune:
1.
this.options.tunes[tune.id] = tune;
2.
this.on('buttonClick:' + tune.id, tune.handler, tune);
If you want to get rid of a ClosedTune (say you remove it from the document with tune.remove() and you want the view object gone completely), using @ggozad's approach will leave an orphaned reference to the ClosedTune in tune_book._callbacks unless you perform the same kind of housekeeping that would make sense with the approach I suggested:
1.
delete this.options.tunes[tune.id];
tune.remove();
2.
this.off("buttonClick:" + tune.id);
tune.remove();
The first line of each example is optional -- depending if you want to clean up the ClosedTune objects or not.
Option 2 is more or less what I'm doing right now, but (for other reasons) I also store the model as a data attribute on view.$el, and I can't help feeling that there's got to be a better way than storing references all over the place.
Well, it ultimately comes down to your preference for how to structure things. If you prefer storing the view objects in a more centralized fashion, you can store them in the TuneBook instance instead of using jQuery.data. See #1: Centralized.
One way or another you're storing references to the ClosedTune objects: using jQuery.data, or in a plain object in the TuneBook, or in _callbacks in the TuneBook.
If you like @ggozad's approach for reasons that you understand, go for it, but it's not magic. As it's presented here I'm not sure what advantage is supposed to be provided by the extra level of abstraction compared to the more straightforward version I present in #1. If there is some advantage, feel free to fill me in.

Great solution I have taken from this article (@dave-cadwallader comment).
Extend an general backbone events object and store it in a reference vent:
var vent = _.extend({}, Backbone.Events);
Pass it to parent view:
var parentView = new ParentView({vent: vent});
The child view will trigger an event:
ChildView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(options){
this.vent = options.vent;
},
myHandler: function(){
this.vent.trigger("myEvent", this.model);
}
});
And the parent view is listening to the child event:
ParentView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(options){
this.vent = options.vent;
this.vent.on("myEvent", this.onMyEvent);
let childView = new ChildView({vent: this.vent});
},
onMyEvent: function(){
console.log("Child event has been ");
}
});
Disclaimer - pay attention that the vent object has to be injected to every view so you will find in this article better design patterns to make use of.
