Question

fairly new to javascript and backbone Marionette, and I cant seem to figure out how to do this.
I want to select a child view from a compositeView by index (or any of the other selectors the docs say are available for the inherited collectionview (from babysitter).).

ie from within myCompositeView:

someMethod: function(index){
    this.children.findByIndex(index);
 },
 ...

how can I access the collectionView from a compositeView such that I can findByIndex or findByModel etc and get a reference to the actual Marionette View?

thanks.

Answer 1

Make sure you’re using v1.0.0-beta6 of Marionette, as this is where the feature you need was introduced.

CompositeView extends directly from CollectionView, so calling this.children.findByIndex should work, as long as you’re using the right version of Marionette.
