# Class: BackboneFormBehavior

## module:core.form.behaviors. BackboneFormBehavior

This behavior turns any Marionette.View into Backbone.Form. To do this Backbone.Form scans this.$el at the moment defined by `options.renderStrategy` and puts field and editors defined in `options.schema` into DOM-elements with corresponding Backbone.Form data-attributes. It's important to note that Backbone.Form will scan the whole this.$el including nested regions that might lead to unexpected behavior. Possible events:

- `'form:render' (form)` - the form has rendered and available via `form` property of the view.
