Backbone: Easiest way to maintain reference to 'this' for a Model inside callbacks
- by Garrett
var JavascriptHelper = Backbone.Model.extend("JavascriptHelper",
{}, // never initialized as an instance
{
myFn: function() {
$('.selector').live('click', function() {
this.anotherFn(); // FAIL!
});
},
anotherFn: function() {
alert('This is never called from myFn()');
}
}
);
The usual _.bindAll(this, ...) approach won't work here because I am never initializing this model as an instance. Any ideas? Thanks.
