Question

I got a question about Backbone, how is it possible to set all attributes of a model to empty?

unsetmodel.unset(attribute, [options]) 
Remove an attribute by deleting it from the internal attributes hash. Fires a "change" event unless silent is passed as an option.

But this is only meant for unsetting individual properties one by one.

Anyone an idea?

Gretz,

Answer 1

From Backbone site:

clearmodel.clear([options])

Removes all attributes from the model, including the id attribute.
Fires a “change” event unless silent is passed as an option.

So I would do something like:

myModel.clear();

If you want to keep the attributes, why not iterate through all of them and set them manually?

$.each(this.model.attributes, function(index, value){
    // set them manually to undefined
});
