I need to have templates that are stateless for PrefView. This allows the developer to write code faster and the browser can run much faster as well by not having to destory DOM, recreate a string, turn the string into DOM and place it on the document again.
I also want a straight forward way take a value from a backbone model and display something else. The standard use case is for translated text or displaying a date/time in a more readable format. Which option is better?
// Model
Backbone.Model.extend({ date: new Date('01/01/2014') });
