Question

In Backbone JS, the strategy is first rendering everything out in an detached element. Then when ready attaching it to the DOM.

I would like to bind to when that element is finally attached to the DOM (and then run some functions like say triggering some click events or whatnot.

Answer 1

Just create your own custom events that other Backbone objects can subscribe to. Trigger these when you add a view to the DOM.

this.trigger('addedToDOM', this);

…

viewtoBeAdded.bind('addedToDOM', this.onAddedToDom);

…

onAddedToDom: function(viewThatWasAdded) { .. }
