Backbone.js Event Listener
In Backbone.js, event listeners are used to handle user interactions and trigger specific actions in response to those interactions. Event listeners in Backbone.js are defined using the events
property in a Backbone view. The events
property is an object that maps DOM events to the corresponding event handler functions.
Here's an example of how to define an event listener in Backbone.js:
var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
events: {
'click .my-button': 'handleButtonClick'
},
handleButtonClick: function() {
// Code to handle the button click event
}
});
In the example above, the handleButtonClick
function will be called when a click event occurs on an element with the class my-button
within the view's DOM element.
It's important to note that the event listeners in Backbone.js are delegated, meaning that they can handle events on dynamically added elements as well.
