Bobun 
This plugin is no longer actively maintained, you can still use it but issues will not be resolved. If you want the npm name, you can contact me by email.
Bobun is a UI oriented Backbone library. It supports one-way and two-way bindings and sub-views.
Installing
Client side
bower install bobun
Server side
npm install bobun
Bobun.View
append ( view )
Add a view to sub-views, render it, append it to $el and call delegateEvents.
mainView.append(subView);domEventTriggerProxy ( event )
Provides a way to bind a dom event to a view event.
Bobun.View.extend({
events: {
'click': 'domEventTriggerProxy'
}
});set, get, validate
Similary to models with attributes, Bobun.View exposes options using set, get and validate.
var List = Bobun.View.extend({
options: {
'processing': false
},
initialize: function () {
this.on('change:processing', this.render);
}
render: function () {
this.$el.empty();
if (this.get('processing'))
this.$el.append('<i class="icon-spinner icon-spin">');
}
});
var list = new List();
list.set('processing', true);
});bind, bindTo
Thanks to Bobun.Binding, it's possible to bind a view to a model or an other view.
Bobun.View.extend({
initialize: function () {
// bind processing attribute to processing option
this.bind(this.model, 'processing');
// bind processing option to disabled button option
this.bind(this.button, {'processing': 'disabled'});
}
});It's possible to bind a model option using a shortcut.
Bobun.View.extend({
options: {
'disabled': 'model.readonly' // bind disabled option to readonly model attribute
}
});Bobun.Binding
Bobun.Binding(modelA).bind(modelB, 'foo');
modelA.set('foo', 'bar');
modelB.get('foo') // -> return 'bar'All methods can be called directly or wrapped (as underscore).
bind( obj, bindedObj, attributes )
Provides a two-way binding.
// simple
Bobun.Binding.bind(modelA, modelB, 'symetricAttribute');
Bobun.Binding.bind(modelA, modelB, ['firstSymetricAttribute', 'secondSymetricAttribute']);
Bobun.Binding.bind(modelA, modelB, {'modelAAttribute': 'modelBAttribute'});
// wrapped
Bobun.Binding(modelA).bind(modelB, 'symetricAttribute');
...bindTo( obj, bindedObj, attributes )
Provides a one-way binding.
// simple
Bobun.Binding.bindTo(modelA, modelB, 'symetricAttribute');
Bobun.Binding.bindTo(modelA, modelB, ['firstSymetricAttribute', 'secondSymetricAttribute']);
Bobun.Binding.bindTo(modelA, modelB, {'modelAAttribute': 'modelBAttribute'});
// wrapped
Bobun.Binding(modelA).bindTo(modelB, 'symetricAttribute');
