LayoutManager

v0.9.0 Build Status Dependency Status

Maintained by Tim Branyen @tbranyen, Mike Pennisi @jugglinmike, Simon Boudrias @SBoudrias, and @ssafejava with help from awesome contributors!

Provides a logical foundation for assembling layouts and views within Backbone. Designed to be adaptive and configurable for painless integration. Well tested, with full code coverage, in both the browser and Node.js environments.

Depends on Underscore, Backbone, and jQuery. You can swap out the dependencies with a custom configuration.

Release notes

  • Upgraded all internal dependencies.
  • Batch rendering via jQuery collections has been added. Check out the htmlBatch method.
  • Full on AMD support. No more shimming necessary!
  • render now returns the View instance to maintain parity with other Backbone.View tutorials and plugins.
  • fetch and render overrides have been renamed to fetchTemplate and renderTemplate respectively.
  • New method renderViews which will only render nested Views and not the parent view, useful for top level layouts.
  • Event bubbling has been removed.
  • Named regions for selectors using the section object.
  • Greatly refactored how the async() methods work. This allows every method of the render lifecycle to be asynchronous and maintain the context of the View.
