####### Conventions
-
The URL dictates the name of the View, Template, etc. The only exception is the / (index) which could use a meaningful name.
-
All javascript classes will have the type at the end of the word always. Ex. InviteHeaderView.
-
You should strive for convention over configuration. Every javascript classes should define their properties as much as it can. Ex. InviteHeaderView = SimpleView.extend({ template: JST['invite_header.html'], el: '#invite-header', .... } here template and el are defined instead of passed as a parameter.
-
Every Backbone View should initialize the expected properties for the options object in the initialize method. This is a way to document what's going to be passed for the options object. Ex. InviteTitleView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(options){ this.options = options || {is_editable: false}; //we are specifying that options will have an is_editable property. }, .... }
