backbone integration

Webix JS
1

Hi,

I am having some problems with backbone integration of webix. For example, does this webix code below not need a last line of “return this;”?

render: function () {
  if (this.beforeRender) this.beforeRender.apply(this, arguments);

    var config = this.config || this.options.config;
    var el = this.el ? $(this.el)[0] : document.body;
    //clear previous content if any
    if (el && !el.config) el.innerHTML = "";
    this.root = webix.ui(webix.copy(config), el);

    if (this.afterRender) this.afterRender.apply(this, arguments);

    return this; // WITHOUT THIS LINE ADDED, IT DOESN'T WORK
 },

You are correct, it will be better to return “this” from the “render” method. While it is not a mandatory requirement, this is the expected behavior in many cases ( to use method chaining ). We will include the same fix in the next build.

thank you for your kind answer.

kind remainder: i expected it to be included in the next build.

btw, wouldn’t it be better to release the changes in github?

It will be included in the next official build ( 1.5 ) for sure.
As for github - probably you are right. For now we are publishing only stable version there, but it has sense to distribute hot fixes in the same way
