Rebar.CompositeView Class

Extends View
Defined in: ../temp/backbone.rebar.js:475

Most of the time Backbone views need to be able to contain other views. When you do this you run into situations where you need to add the view then render and when you go to destroy the parent view, you want to make sure you properly dispose of its children. The composite view makes managing child parent relationships a bit easier by adding recursive destroy functionality as well as making it possible to quickly add and remove child views.

var composite = new Backbone.Rebar.CompositeView({
