    <p><strong>My goal</strong> I need to create a custom layout (a flow layout) that can receive a variable numbers of views and based on them, it creates regions as necessary and within those regions it shows the views that are passed in. The views can be arranged vertically or horizontally.</p> <p><strong>Requirement</strong> The layout has a template where initially regions are not defined. It only contains a wrapper (<code>data-role="region-wrapper"</code>) where added regions will be rendered.</p> <p>My approach.</p> <p>1 - Extend a <code>Marionette.Layout</code> (obviously)</p> <p>2 - Ovveride the construtor like the following</p> <pre><code>constructor: function(options) { // call super here... this.viewList= options.viewList || []; this._defineRegions(); // see 3 } </code></pre> <p>3 - Define the regions dynamically </p> <pre><code>_defineRegions: function() { _.each(this.viewList, function(view, index) { var name = 'flowRegion_' + index; var definition = { selector: "[data-region='flow-region-" + index + "']" }; this.addRegion(name, definition); }, this); }, </code></pre> <p>4 - Render regions and views in onRender method within the same layout</p> <pre><code>onRender: function() { _.each(this.viewList, function(view, index) { // if the view has not been instantiated, instantiate it // a region is a simple div element var $regionEl = // creating a region element here based on the index // append the region here this.$el.find("[data-role='flow-wrapper']").append($regionEl); var region = this.getRegion(index); // grab the correct region from this.regionManager region.show(view); }, this); } </code></pre> <p>This solution seems working but I would like to know if I'm following a valid one or not. Any other approach to follow?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
