this._domEvents isn't initialized properly when mixing into Backbone.View

[osi]

When initializing the mixin via against the Backbone 1.2.0 release,

_.extend(Backbone.View.prototype, Backbone.NativeViewMixin);

this._domEvents is never initialized

[akre54]

From the docs:

var MyBaseView = Backbone.View.extend({
  initialize: function(options) {
    // If you go the prototype extension route be sure to set _domEvents in
    // initialize yourself.
    this._domEvents = [];
  }
});

_.extend(MyBaseView.prototype, Backbone.NativeViewMixin);

You can also extend from Backbone.NativeView.

my bad. i had first tried the D3 view version, but then switched to this when I realized it wanted to create SVG elements by default. The mixin instructions were slightly different between the two. Thanks!

Yup, d3 does its own event binding under the hood, we have to roll our own here. You can use them both in tandem if you only need d3 some places
