Backbone.js - data not being populated in collection even though fetch is successful

Question

I am trying to populate a collection from a simple JSON file as part of learning backbone.js. But I can\'t get it to work.

The AJAX call is made (verified with Fire

Answer 1

i believe the problem lies in your json

either you override the parse method on the collection, to work with your json

or you could change the json :)

[{
    "description": "Lorem ipsum..."
},
{
    "description": "Lorem ipsum..."
}]

i believe this is what your json should look like, just an array of your models.
