Question

I’m using backbone.js and rails. When backbone.js saves a model for the first time rails responds with the new id and backbone.js does a set on the model with the new id.

My problem is I can’t make that set be silent. That set calls a change event which causes my view to render.

Answer 1

You can pass an option in the save method to not trigger any events

model.save(null, { silent: true })
