Need to add customization to a common view, which is extended by every other view

As I previously explained and Sanchez agreeded, it is not possible to accomplish such a feature without creating custom views for all cascading views.

@Andre Lopes - I want to extend functionality of BaseView itself because most of the views inherit BaseView. My requirement is not to create any new custom view. The BaseView itself should add my customization everytime it gets called.

When i write my customization in the core file itself, it works as expected, but to make it upgrade safe, i am trying to move it to custom folder so that every time parent BaseView is called, it should also include my customization.

I agree with andré on the point that custom views would have to inherit from the custombaseview

Your approach will not work because all views which extends BaseView explicit inherit from it:

extendsFrom: "BaseView",

Your approach will work for custom views which, eventually, extends your custom one:

extendsFrom: "CustomBaseView",

Sanchez Jorge Luis - Thanks for reply, but what i am trying to do is extend BaseView to CustomBaseView.

But with whatever i did, it just doesn't trigger the initialize method in my CustomBaseView which normally does happen for the Record View which you have shared.

Basically i want to extend the Parent BaseView in clients/base/views/base/base.js

Dear Amber

Overriding is essentially creating or copying a view to be used by your application that is not extending its parent.
