#Backbone Notes

##Backbone Modelbinder

• NEVER EVER attach an instance of ModelBinder to a Class. I've done this mistake multiple times now always forgetting that it's a class and not an object.

##Model Attributes

You can assign a function to an attribute, this is very handy if you wanted to for example assign the current date to a new item

var Model = Backbone.Model.extend({
    defaults: {
        someAttribute: (function(){ return 1 + 1; })()
    }
})
