Question

Is there a way to automatically do an _.bindAll for a backbone.js object?

I was talking to someone a while ago and they said that there was, but I have no idea where to start looking.

Example:

var TheView = Backbone.View.extend({

    initialize: function() {
        // HOW CAN I AVOID HAVING TO DO THIS?---->
        _.bindAll(this,'render','on_element_01_click', 'on_element_02_click');
    },

    events: {
        'click #element_01': 'on_element_01_click',
        'click #element_02': 'on_element_02_click',
    },

    render: function(){
        return this;
    },

    on_element_01_click: function(){

    },

    on_element_02_click: function(){

    }
}

Answer 1

Do this instead:

_.bindAll(this);

Will bind ALL functions in this view.
