Automatic init event on all Views

[Fernando]

Hi guys

Is there a way to attach the same init method (beforeShow and show too) to all Views, without specifying on html? Or maybe a way to bind to an event that gets triggered from all Views?

I think a good way to solve this would be the possibility to specify the View init method through the Layout. I have many Views with the same Layout, and all of them use the same init and show method. If we could put that in the Layout, the markup would become simpler and more maintainable.

Thanks!

Hi Fernando,

In my application I've used the 'viewShow' and 'navigate' events of the pane. These events are triggered for all views. You can read about it in the docs.

For example:

app.pane.bind("navigate",
    function() {
        console.log("app.pane.navigate");
    }
);
app.pane.bind("viewShow",
    function() {
        console.log("app.pane.viewShow " + app.pane.viewEngine.url);
    }
);

Thanks, I'll try that!

A viewInit event on the Pane (or something like that) would be really useful. The navigate event does not give the reference to the new View being constructed.

Hi Fernando,

Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider exposing such event for our future releases.
