I like EventBinder, but somewhere between the Zombies post and this one, I am lost on how to use EventBinder with Backbone views (which is the most popular use case). Do you still recommend adding a close() method to the Backbone.View prototype and a onClose() method to the view? Also where does one store the binder object, so that binder.unbindAll() can be called on close? What is the recommended way to close child views (e.g. a parent view on a collection which has child views on the associated models). A working example would be a great addition to the Backbone.EventBinder project.

Thanks.

the EventBinder is just for handling events bindings and being able to easily group them and unbind all of them in a single call.

the onBeforeClose / onClose methods and events are still very useful when creating a base view that uses the EventBinder in a close method.

Of course you can write code that hangs on to the DOM elements and cause zombies… but it requires a lot of effort to purposely make that happen when using a Backbone View.

I have yet to see a zombie view instance caused by DOM events wired in from the view’s events hash.
