Accessing parent class in Backbone

Question

I need to call the initialize method of the parent class, from inside the inherited MyModel-class, instead of completely overwriting it as I am doi

Answer 1

Try

MyModel = BaseModel.extend({
    initialize: function() {
        BaseModel.prototype.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
        // Continue doing specific stuff for this child-class.
    },
});

Answer 2

I think it'd be

MyModel = BaseModel.extend({
    initialize: function() {
        this.constructor.__super__.initialize.call(this);
        // Continue doing specific stuff for this child-class.
    },
});
