Combine the power of a Backbone view with the simplicity of a jQuery plugin

jQueryBackbonePlugin

(function($, Backbone){
    var MyPluginView = Backbone.View.extend({
        initialize: function(options) {
        },
        render: function() {
        },
        events: {
        }
    });
    $.fn.myPlugin = function(options) {
        this.each(function() {
            var $this = $(this),
                view = new MyPluginView({
                    el: this
                });
            view.render();
            $this.data("view", view);
        }); 
        return this;
    };
})(jQuery, Backbone);
