Unable to bind to view.$el using the bindings hash #30

Closed markerikson closed 11 years ago

If the bindings hash approach is used, Epoxy finds the elements to bind to using the selectors specified as the keys for the bindings hash. Unfortunately, jQuery has no individual selector that will target the current element. As a result, while binding to the view's $el can be done using the HTML attribute approach, it can't be done using the bindings hash.

Backbone.Stickit implements this by doing a special-case check for a ":el" pseudo-element. Shouldn't be too hard to do something similar.

Good point. Let's mark this as a ToDo...
