Backbone Render And Initialize

Neither render or initialize or explicitly necessary for a view

Backbone Initialize vs Render

var myView = Backbone.View.extend({initialize: function(){

console.log("I am initialized");

},
render: function()
{
 console.log("I am rendered");
}

});

const myview = new myView();

/*initialize will execute when you create an instance of the view*/
/*render will not execute unless you this.render()/myview.render() execute it*/

/*if you want you can also call myview.render();
myview.initialize();
*/
