Backbone Events: logging all events when they are triggered

Question

I'm creating an events object using a bit of backbone and underscore as follows:

var appEvents = _.extend({}, Backbone.Events);

I'm then trying to create a function that will console.log all and any event triggered to this object, regardless of where, how or what listeners it has, but am kinda unsure how I'd do that. I'm still experimenting with Backbone.

I think using the listenTo method is the way to go... but again, not sure how I'd implement that.

Answer 1

You can just use Backbone's special all event:

appEvents.on("all", function(eventName){
    console.log(eventName + ' was triggered!');
});

Answer 2

var object = {};

_.extend(object, Backbone.Events);

object.on("alert:param1", function(msg) {
  alert("Сработало " + msg);
});


object.on("alert:param2", function(msg) {
  alert("Сработало " + msg);
});



object.on("all", function(eventName) {
  console.log(eventName);
});
object.trigger("alert:param2", "событие");
object.trigger("alert:param1", "событие");
