Rendering a closed Marionette view

Question

Shouldn't a closed Marionette view re-delegate the defined events (events, modelEvents, CollectionEvents) when rendering again?

It seems as if I have to manually call delegateEvents after closing and re-rendering a view. Otherwise the view won't work as expected.

http://jsfiddle.net/4DCeY/

var app = new Marionette.Application();

app.addRegions({
    main: '.main'
});

var MyView = Marionette.ItemView.extend({

    template: _.template('Hi, I\'m a view! Foo is: <%= foo %>'),

    modelEvents: {
        'change': 'onChange'
    },

    onChange: function() {
        alert('change!');
    }
});


var Model = Backbone.Model.extend({});


app.addInitializer(function() {
    var m = new Model({foo: 'bar'});
    var myView = new MyView({
        model: m
    });

    app.main.show(myView);
    myView.close();
    app.main.show(myView);

    m.set({foo: 'baz'});

});

$(document).ready(function(){
    app.start();
});

If I understand your question right, there are multiple open github issues about this.

For example:

https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/pull/654 https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/issues/622

Last time I checked, Derick (the creator of Marionette) didn't feel like reusing closed views should be something regions should do.

So you could

1. simply create a new view and show that one
2. manually call delegateEvents - but there was an issue with multiple event bindings that I can't remember right now, so be careful about that one (not at work right now, so can't take a peek at the code, sorry)
3. write your own region manager
4. or wait and see if Derick will merge one of the pull requests
