In EmberJS, you dont need to bind events to functions. Ember provides default bindings to DOM events. I would suggest you to go through EmberJS guide on events to understand the bindings.
Also you want to bind functions on elements, you can do this following way. I am taking your BBJS example for the code which may help you understand better.
var App.TestView = Ember.View.extend({
click : function(e) {
if($(e.target).attr('id')==='some_button') {
this.handle_button_click(e);
} else if($(e.target).attr('id')==='some_anchor'){
this.handle_anchor_click(e);
}
},
handle_button_click : function(e) {//someCode};
handle_anchor_click : function(e) {//someCode};
});
You can actually have code of handle_button_click
or handle_anchor_click
in same click
function inside the conditions, unless you feel to make it more modular...
