Question

I have a fetch request which response looks like this.

response = {
   id: 1,
   title: 'text',
   followers: [{}, {}] // array of objects
}

As you can see the response is an object which have an attribute follower which is an array of object.

I would like to create from this response one model and one collection,
one which have the following attributes:

response = {
   id: 1,
   title: 'text'
}

and the other one, a collection of models

followers: [{}, {}];

What is the appropriate way to active my goal?
Could I use Backbone.Relation?
If yes, there are some example?

Answer 1

I’m used to use the same approach than @lecstor but I like more do it in the initialize() like this:

initialize: function(){
  this.followers = new Followers( this.get("followers") );
}
