An example of a view

view-example.js

// a view constructor which accepts:
// - el, which is a jQuery object of the HTML element the view owns
// - user, which is a user model with key-value pairs
var UserView = function(el, user) {
  this.el = el;
  this.user = user;
}

UserView.prototype.showImage = function() {
  this.el.append('<img src="' + user.image + '" />');
}

// let's just create a super simple user object
var user = {
  image: 'http://example.com/image.png'
};

// initialize the view with the jQuery object the view owns and a user
var view = new UserView($('.user'), user);

// ... and now we can do stuff which changes the DOM
view.showImage();
