marionette v2.1.0 Release Notes

    • 🔋 Features

      • Marionette.Object
      • A base class which other classes can extend from. Marionette.Object incorporates many Backbone conventions and utilities like initialize and Backbone.Events. It is a user friendly class to base your classes on to get Backbone conventions on any generic class.
      • Add a el reference to the views el from within a behavior instance.
      • ItemViews can now have no template by setting template: false
      • Application objects can now configure their default message channel.
      • This will allow you to configure multiple applications to exist at the same time within an app without their event bus colliding.
      • Application objects now have the getOption method.
      • Regions now have a hasView method to determine if there is a view within a given region.
      • Views no longer use toJSON directly on models. Instead they call into the new overridable methods serializeModel and serializeCollection via serializeData
      • Return chainable objects from more methods to be consistent
