backbone.js use different urls for model save and fetch

Question

My back-end has two separate pages, one for handling the model save request and the other for model fetch.

What is the best approach for calling save() and fetch()

Answer 1

If you have a model and a collection like :-

MyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({

url: function(){ "API/"
      return "API/MyModel/" +this.get("id");
    }
});

MyCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
    model: MyModel ,
    url: "API/MyModels"
});

to fetch the collection just call

MyCollection.fetch({
       success: function(){
       //do something here
       },
       error: function(){
       //Handle your error
       }
});

To save your model assuming you have the id of the model and you have instantiated your collection (calling it myCollection).

var model = myCollection .get(id);
   model.save(
                             model.attributes,
                                {
                                    success: function (model, response) {

                                        //do something on success
                                    },
                                    error: function (model, response) {
                                       //handle the error
                                    }
                                }
                            );
