Controller inheritance

in General JavaScriptMVC » Uncategorised • 1 year ago

extending a controller to add or override existing functionality, the event actions in my _super are not registered when my 'subclass' is applied.

My current work around is to declare the actions in the sub, and call _super(). Seems the application of prototype funcs to actions is not applied recursively through the prototype chain.

Is this the intended affect?

--------------------------------------------------

example code:

//from extended controller

"#wizardPrevButton click" : function() {

... //go back a page;

"#wizardNextButton click" : function() {

... //proceed to next page;

}

//from subclass

"#wizardPrevButton click" : function() {

this._super();

"#wizardNextButton click" : function() {

this._super();

}

Yes thats intentional. Usually when you extend a controller, you just want the actions you define in that controller's prototype methods to be registered on your new Controller (since it probably has a different DOM structure). Inheritance is there for sharing helper methods, but event handlers are slightly different.
