Helper method for Backbone.js views to add data bindings to DOM events. It's still up to the user to add data-cid attributes to bound DOM nodes.

with-model.js

// View Usage
//  events: {
//    "click .message": withModel("messageOverlay")
//  },

function withModel(callback) {
  return function(e) {
    var model = this.collection.getByCid($(e.currentTarget).attr("data-cid"));
    this[callback](model, e);
  };
}
