Modular Coffeescript Views using Observer

ModularView.coffee

# All of your views should inherit from the BaseView. As a result you get the
# globalEvents functionality for free. The globalEvents hash is similar to that
# of the built-in Backbone events hash. It automatically binds event names to
# instance methods.
#
# class TestView extends ModularView
#
#   globalEvents:
#     "PhoneRang": "answerPhone"
#
#   answerPhone: ->
#     # phone answering logic
#
# Also note that the correct value of `this` is passed in.
