JQuery UI resizable Resize event bind/on resize event to Backbone View

JQuery UI resizable Resize event bind/on resize event to Backbone View

I have a view, NOT the size of the window, nor the window itself, and when
it resizes, I want to compare the beginning and the ending value of the
resize. JQ-UI's resize ui object however includes only the previous state,
not original, so it is only grabbing the changes by pixels (albeit I think
that is because I am putting the code in the resize function, and not the
end function, but that isn't the real problem, as I could solve it once I
know how to get the var back to the Backbone View itself). How do I get
the info from within the resize back to the backbone view? self is the
global window object, and this is the JQuery result from the selector of
this.el.
define([ ... ], function( ... ){
return Backbone.View.extend({
// I also tried to use the event handlers from backbone
events : {
'resize' : 'info'
},
initialize: function(options){
if (options) { ... }
this.el = '#measure-rep-c55';
}
//Dispatch listeners
...
//Binding
this.model.bind('change', _.bind(this.render, this));
$(this.el).on('resize', this.info); // Here I am trying to attach
the listener here according the API
this.render();
},
info: function(){
console.log('in info')
},
render: function(){
... //template and other stuff
// JQ-UI resizable
$(this.el).resizable({
aspectRatio: true,
start: function(e, ui) {
// alert('resizing started');
},
resize: function( event, ui ) {
// in here self = window
// and this is the JQuery object
var oldW = ui.originalSize.width;
var newW = ui.size.width;
var deltaWidth = newW - oldW;
var deltaRatio = deltaWidth/oldW;
//HOW TO SEND info (in this case var deltaRatio) back to the
backbone view
//I tried getting to the function info() so that I could access
the View itself from there
},
stop: function(e, ui) {
// alert('resizing stopped');
}
});
},
});
});
