Question

First – I’m new to Backbone, so bear with the possibly stupid nature of this question. I have a model:

var AppModel = Backbone.Model.extend({

    defaults: {
        mynumber: null
    }

});

I can successfully add items dynamically to the collection (console.log shows that they’re going in fine), but I’m just not sure how to pull them out, here’s what I’m trying:

printCollection: function(){
    this.collection.each(function(item){
        console.log(item.mynumber);
    });
}

Which shows the number of items and undefined.

Answer 1

You need to use the attribute accessor, not the value.

item.get('mynumber');
