Question

I use backbone.js and have a model without a collection.
In the view I call fetch on the model with a callback to render the view.

this.user.fetch({success: function(d) { self.randomUserView.render() }})

how can I make the view update automatically when the model change? e.g. I don’t want to specify the above callback every time I call fetch. I tried to bind the view to many model events on initialize but this did not work.

Answer 1

On the view, add an event handler to the view’s model:

initialize: function() {
  this.model.on('change',this.render,this);
}
