Review Request #3694 — Created Dec. 24, 2012 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Add JS utility functions for working with Backbone properties. This introduces $.fn.bindProperty and $.fn.bindVisibility, which makes it easy to bind DOM element properties with Backbone properties. They can be set to update any element property or any model property, and the direction of synchronization (model-to-element, element-to-model, or both) can be customized. Values can also be inversed (useful when setting "disable" on an element from a "can*" on a model). This also introduces unit tests for all the options and scenarios.
All unit tests pass. I've also used this in another branch, and so far everything has worked as expected.
