Monkey patch Backbone.extend for better syntactic sugar?

[gregtillbrook]

I really like the way Cocktail patches the extend method so that mixin includes can be written far more clearly (imho) in the form;

var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({
  mixins: [MyMixin1, MyMixin2],

  etc...
});

Any chance of similar in Advice?

Have a look at: https://github.com/rhysbrettbowen/Backbone.AdviceFactory

I think that might be what you want. It does some extra stuff on top of better syntax like resolving mixins and extends in a more intuitive manner.

Ah, very interesting. Thanks
