Simple Backbone Example

app.TodoView = Backbone.View.extend({
  // ...

  initialize: function () {
    this.listenTo(this.model, 'change', this.render);
  },

  render: function() {
    // put the rerender on the backburner!
    backburner.deferOnce('render', this, this.actuallyRender);
  },

  actuallyRender: function() {
    // do our DOM manipulations here. will only be called once.
  }

  // ...
});


// ... somewhere in our app code ...
backburner.run(function() {
  model.set('firstName', 'Erik');
  model.set('lastName',  'Bryn');
});

// our view has been rerendered only once, thanks to backburner!
