“How” to save an entire collection in Backbone.js - Backbone.sync or jQuery.ajax?

Question

I am well aware it can be done and I\'ve looked at quite a few places (including: Best practice for saving an entire collection?). But I\'m still not clear \"exactly how\"

Answer 1

A very simple...

Backbone.Collection.prototype.save = function (options) {
    Backbone.sync("create", this, options);
};

...will give your collections a save method. Bear in mind this will always post all the collection's models to the server regardless of what has changed. options are just normal jQuery ajax options.
