Setting attributes on a collection - backbone js

Question

Collections in backbone js don\'t allow you to set attributes, but I often find that there is need to store some meta-information about a collection. Where is

Answer 1

Using the function meta of @Raynos solution with only one parameter do not worked for me. So I've used the following code:

var MyCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
    initialize: function() {
        this._meta = {};
    },
    put: function(prop, value) {
        this._meta[prop] = value;
    },
    get: function(prop) {
        return this._meta[prop];
    }
});

var collection = new MyCollection();
collection.put("someProperty", 12);
alert(collection.get("someProperty"));

Hope it'll helps.
