Comments on: Managing Layouts And Nested Views With Backbone.Marionette http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/2012/03/22/managing-layouts-and-nested-views-with-backbone-marionette/ Better Than Yesterday Fri, 17 May 2013 03:30:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: ed http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/2012/03/22/managing-layouts-and-nested-views-with-backbone-marionette/#comment-3064 ed Tue, 19 Feb 2013 13:39:00 +0000 http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/?p=855#comment-3064 Hi there - I've been using compositeView to create nested views - a model + a collection. Is it possible to nest composite views inside each other? I have an composite view, 'catchup_videos', its itemView is a 'catchup_view'. I want to make another composite view that re-uses the 'catchup_videos' view as an Item. Basically to create 5 groups of 'catchup_videos' - does anybody know where i can see an explanation of this...if its possible?

It keeps things more flexible, in my experience. I prefer the events so that my child view (the one going in to the region) doesn’t have to know about the parent or anything else outside of itself.

I could either trigger an event in the event handler of the view (the triggered event will be handled by the layout) or insert the layout object as an option for the view. Any comments on the approaches? What’s the best/common approach to show another view in a region when an event occurs in a view handler?

Are there any techniques you are using there that should be replaced by other methods? Things seem to be changing very fast in Marionette..

I also tend to use it as a playground for what the future of Marionette will bring. At this time, BBCloneMail is rather outdated, though. I haven't had a chance to go back and clean up some of the things that I know are odd / not the way I want them.

Whenever your site comes up when googling for backbone answers I know it's a hit. One question regarding this post: It seems the layout in bbclonemail has changed since you wrote this post. What are the reasons? Hi, thanks for super useful posts. Whenever your site comes up when googling for backbone answers I know it’s a hit.

I was trying to call .show on the layout regions before .showing the layout itself because I assumed this would yield the best performance - this doesn't work at all though. yeah, the .render thing I understood and was documented so that’s cool.  The .show order is what threw me off… I was trying to call .show on the layout regions before .showing the layout itself because I assumed this would yield the best performance – this doesn’t work at all though.
