how to add json to backbone,js collection using fetch

Question

I am trying to get backbone.js to load json. The json loads but i am not sure how to get the items into my collection. Or maybe that happens automatically and i just can\'t trac

Answer 1

Your json is not in the correct format, you can fix the json or add a hint to backbone in the parse method:

var ClientCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
    defaults: {
        model: Client
    },
    model: Client,
    url: 'json/client.json',

    parse: function(response){
       return response.items;
    }
});

Or fix your JSON:

 [
        {
            "name": "WTBS",
            "img": "no image"
        },

        {
            "name": "XYC",
            "img": "no image"
        }
    ]
