Overriding fetch() method in backbone model

Question

I would like to override the default fetch() method in a Backbone model, thus calling it only when needed.

Something like this:

Account.Check = Backbone.         


        

Answer 1

This should do it...

fetch : function(options) {         
           if (someCondition()) {
              // do some stuff
           } else {
              this.constructor.__super__.fetch.apply(this, arguments);
              // Or (less flexible)
              Backbone.Model.prototype.fetch.apply(this, arguments);    
           }
         }
