So I have a View that looks like this.
//base class
var SelectListView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function() {
_.bindAll(this, 'addOne', 'addAll');
this.collection.bind('reset', this.addAll);
},
addAll: function() {
this.collection.each(this.addOne);
},
events: {
"change": "changedSelected"
},
changedSelected: function() {
this.selected = $(this.el);
this.setSelectedId($(this.el).val());
}
});
//my extended view
var PricingSelectListView = SelectListView.extend({
addOne: function(item) {
$(this.el).append(new PricingView({ model: item }).render().el);
}
});
I have instantiated the view like this...
var products = new ProductPricings();
var pricingsView = new PricingSelectListView({
el: $("#sel-product"),
collection: products
});
Somewhere else (another views custom method)I have updated the pricing view's collection
pricingsView.collection = new ProductPricings(filtered);
This does not seen to do anything.
pricingsView.render();
So now the collection has fewer items but the new view is never rendered or refreshed in the DOM.
How to I do I 1.) refresh the rendering in the DOM? 2.) Make it automatically refresh the DOM? Do I have to somehow tell it to render when ever the collection changes?
You bound addOne()
to a reset
event. When you just replace the pricingsView.collection
instance then that event is not triggered and addOne()
is not executed.
Try instead:
pricingsView.collection.reset(filtered);
