Backbone.js trigger Event

Backbone.js trigger Event is used to invoke or callback the function for the given event or a space-delimited list of events. The subsequent arguments will be passed along to the event callbacks in order to trigger it.

Syntax:

object.trigger(event, [*args])

Parameter Values:

  • event: It is used to bind an object with an event.
  • args: It is used to pass values or arguments to the callback function.

Example: This example describes the trigger event in Backbone.js.

    <h3>Backbone.js trigger Event</h3>
      
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var gfgVar = _.extend({
            title: 'neveropen',
            site:
`<a href="https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/">neveropen</a>`,
        }, Backbone.Events);
      
        gfgVar.on('gfgFunc', function () {
            document.write(`This is `
                + this.title
                + ` & is the triggered value for site is: `
                + this.site);
        });
      
        gfgVar.trigger('gfgFunc');
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Here, the _.extend() function is used to create a copy of all of the properties of the source objects over the destination object and return the destination object.
