framework maybe?

an_example_view_model.js

define( function( require ) {

  var framework = require( 'framework' )
    , prototype

  prototype = {
    // self is always passed as the last argument to make functions re-usable
    // and remove confusing `this` semantics
    constructor: function( options, self ) {
      self.model = options.model
    }
  , eventHandler: function( eventData, self ) {
      self.model.changeState()
    }
  }

  // if this is a viewmodel, we could do some magic to get jQuery
  // methods like $.hide(), so new instances would have their own
  // useful methods, for free.
  return framework.wrap( prototype )
});
