some Backbone.View extensions I'm pretty sure I will never not want

viewplus.coffee

ViewPlus = Backbone.View.extend
  initialize: (opts) ->
    @init opts if @init?
    if opts.partials?
      Handlebars.registerPartial vuname, vu for vu, vuname in opts.partials
    @_compiledTemplate = Handlebars.compile @template

  render: ->
    @beforeRender() if @beforeRender?
    theElm = @_compiledTemplate @model.toJSON()
    @$el.append theElm

  g: (what) -> @model.get what
  s: (pairs) -> @model.set pairs
  ss: (pairs) -> 
    @s pairs
    @save

CViewPlus = ViewPlus.extend
  init: (opts) ->
    return false unless opts.view?
    @collection.on 'add', @addOne, @
    @collection.on 'reset', @addAll, @

  addOne: (one) ->
    itemView = new @options.view
      model: one
    @$el.append itemView.render().el

  addAll: ->
    @$el.empty()
    @collection.forEach @addOne, @

  render: ->
    @addAll()
