  24  
  25  The View class imposes little structure and provides only minimal functionality
  26  of its own: it's basically just an overridable API interface that helps you
  27  implement custom views.
  28  
  29  As of YUI 3.5.0, View allows ad-hoc attributes to be specified at instantiation
  30  time, so you don't need to subclass `Y.View` to add custom attributes. Just pass
  31  them to the constructor:
  32  
  33      var view = new Y.View({foo: 'bar'});
  34      view.get('foo'); // => "bar"
  35  
  36  @class View
  37  @constructor
  38  @extends Base
  39  @since 3.4.0

  57      containerTemplate: '<div/>',
  58  
  59      /**
  60      Hash of CSS selectors mapped to events to delegate to elements matching
  61      those selectors.
  62  
  63      CSS selectors are relative to the `container` element. Events are attached
  64      to the container, and delegation is used so that subscribers are only
  65      notified of events that occur on elements inside the container that match
  66      the specified selectors. This allows the container's contents to be re-
  67      rendered as needed without losing event subscriptions.
  68  
  69      Event handlers can be specified either as functions or as strings that map
  70      to function names on this view instance or its prototype.
  71  
  72      The `this` object in event handlers will refer to this view instance. If
  73      you'd prefer `this` to be something else, use `Y.bind()` to bind a custom
  74      `this` object.
  75  
  76      @example
  77  
  78          var view = new Y.View({
  79              events: {
  80                  // Call `this.toggle()` whenever the element with the id
  81                  // "toggle-button" is clicked.
  82                  '#toggle-button': {click: 'toggle'},
  83  
  84                  // Call `this.hoverOn()` when the mouse moves over any element
  85                  // with the "hoverable" class, and `this.hoverOff()` when the
  86                  // mouse moves out of any element with the "hoverable" class.
  87                  '.hoverable': {
  88                      mouseover: 'hoverOn',
  89                      mouseout : 'hoverOff'

 385          Container node into which this view's content will be rendered.
 386  
 387          The container node serves as the host for all DOM events attached by the
 388          view. Delegation is used to handle events on children of the container,
 389          allowing the container's contents to be re-rendered at any time without
 390          losing event subscriptions.
 391  
 392          The default container is a `<div>` Node, but you can override this in
 393          a subclass, or by passing in a custom `container` config value at
 394          instantiation time. If you override the default container in a subclass
 395          using `ATTRS`, you must use the `valueFn` property. The view's constructor
 396          will ignore any assignments using `value`.
 397  
 398          When `container` is overridden by a subclass or passed as a config
 399          option at instantiation time, you can provide it as a selector string, a
 400          DOM element, a `Y.Node` instance, or (if you are subclassing and modifying
 401          the attribute), a `valueFn` function that returns a `Y.Node` instance.
 402          The value will be converted into a `Y.Node` instance if it isn't one
 403          already.
 404  
 405          The container is not added to the page automatically. This allows you to
