App

Provides the main entry point for the Todos app and major control functionality (the C in MVC). This control functionality is exposed over an eventbus created by mainEventbus.js.

It should be noted that since this app is based on backbone-parse-es6 there are no additional lifecycle methods added to Backbone.View such as close which automatically removes all listeners defined by listenTo. Each view must explicitly have any listeners removed before creating a new view.

While in this simple app there is only one view of the TodoList a benefit of separating control functionality and the TodoList instance from a specific view is that it could be used across multiple views.
