regionType poperty in Marionette

Question

MyApp.addRegions({
  someRegion: {
    selector: "#foo",
    regionType: MyCustomRegion
  })

what's regionType in Marionette and how use it ?

Answer 1

By default the regionType is set to Marionette.Region.

But if you want some special functionality from your Region you could create a custom Region.

var MyCustomRegion = Marionette.Region.extend({
    initialize: function(){
        console.log("I'm special!");
    }
});

You could then use MyCustomRegion like in your example:

MyApp.addRegions({
    someRegion: {
        selector: "#foo",
        regionType: MyCustomRegion
    })
