“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

Here's a simple example:

var Books = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: Book,
url: function() {
  return '/books/';
},
save: function(){
  Backbone.sync('create', this, {
    success: function() {
      console.log('Saved!');
    }
  });
 }
});

When you call the save() method on your collection, it will send a PUT method request to the defined URL.
